Following its entry into the EU in 2004, Cyprus has become a major migrant destination. The influx of migrant workers has introduced a more complex ethnic dynamic into a country traditionally considered in light of its history of conflict between its Greek and Turkish ethnic nationals. Maria Hadjipavlou argues that the focus on Cyprus' 'national problem' has long prevented Cypriot women to challenge Cyprus' largely patriarchal and militaristic order to pursue women's rights and public visibility. While many Cypriot women are now 'liberated' from the home, this is often due to female migrant domestic workers - in effect reproducing patriarchal practices. Hadjipavlou here examines the experiences of women from Greek, Turkish, Armenian, Maronite and Latin communities and migrant domestic workers in the context of ethno-national conflict, ethnic divisions, nationalism and militarism, and argues for a multi-communal feminist movement in Cyprus to better promote women's rights.

This book examines the work of three key women’s organizations working towards women’s rights and a peaceful solution to the Cyprus Problem. Based on a 13-year longitudinal qualitative study that develops a transnational feminist lens to look at the role of Hands Across the Divide (HAD), the Gender Advisory Team (GAT), and the Mediterranean Institute of Gender Studies (MIGS) organizations in women's activism on Cyprus, the research zooms in on three main questions: 1) How have women’s groups organized for peace? 2) What have been their key issues and organizing strategies? 3) What have been their organizing successes and challenges?

Download Gender in Ancient Cyprus Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Gender in Ancient Cyprus examines some of the fundamental facets of gender as they intersect with the dynamics of social, political, and economic change in Cyprus, beginning with the earliest traces of human habitation on the island to the final phases of the Bronze Age. The book closely analyzes gender as it relates to the domestic space, technology and labor, ritual and social identity, and the roles of children, as well as the practices of modern day Near Eastern archaeology and the roles of women in it.

Download Breaking the Silence for Peace Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
"Cyprus counts six flags, five armies, three waves of displacement and two ethnically divided areas by one barbed wired line acting as buffer zone to non-existent violence. Stuck in a dormant conflict state for four decades, research has focused on the conflict, at the expense of Cypriot women, standing on the margins, spoken for and disengaged. This thesis does not aim to resolve the conflict. Filling in women's silence has been managed innumerable times, while accessing it has not. By testing the PAR theory with the voices of displaced women in Cyprus, the research reveals an embedded cycle feeding the status quo through rooted helplessness, ultimately causing half of a population to remove itself from agency over time, and make way to an unshaken omnipresent conflict serving geopolitical comfort. Women only remain active for their personal reinforcement rather than believing their contributions could influence change. Arguing that the successful engagement of women poses a threat to the status quo, the study analyzes how breaking women's silence has the potential to design a more efficient peace landscape. While acknowledging the challenges brought by the passing of time and foreign interests, the author suggests that an inclusive research should be undertaken to (1) mobilize women, drive (re)engagement and shift confidence, (2) destabilize the cycle, (3) produce current and contextual knowledge (4) boost peace work through adequate insight informing programmes and policies and allowing them to stick and (5) extend a definition of peace to one owned by women. Inasmuch as the resilience of this conflict makes its transformation somewhat illusionary, inclusive approaches considering the other 50 percent's perspective can perhaps serve as steps to move what might seem immovable".

Abstract This research examines enduring women's organizations working towards women's rights and a peaceful solution to the Cyprus Problem which has taken precedence over gender equality on the island. This study was based on a 13-year period from 2001 to 2014 examining Hands Across the Divide (HAD), the Gender Advisory Team (GAT), and the Mediterranean Institute of Gender Studies (MIGS) as important groups who have played a key role in women's activism that spans the long-standing partition of Cyprus. This qualitative research-based project applies a transnational feminist lens the following research questions: The central research questions for this study are: 1) How have women's groups organized for peace? 2) What have been their key issues and organizing strategies? 3) What have been their organizing successes and challenges? I use feminist methods to collect data through participant observation, one-on-one interviews, and focus groups to show how women's organizing within these long-standing groups have played a key role in bicommunal women's activism on the island including the mobilization of the women, peace and security agenda during significant periods in Cypriot history. Each organization is examined through the multi-layered and fragmented ways that the demand for women's rights has occurred on the island, as well the ways that multigenerational women have sought to make their voices heard in the midst of Cyprus Problem. I conclude with an analysis of how working against ethno-nationalist culture and the need to move beyond the binary of ethnicity and ethnic divisions has resulted in the fight against gendered violence and the marginalization of women's rights. There is a need to develop a third space in which intersectionality allows women's groups to engage island-wide with groups fighting other forms of oppression and to create opportunities to work together.

In consideration of UN Resolution 1325 (which called for women's equal participation in promoting peace and security and for greater efforts to protect women exposed to violence during and after conflict), this volume takes stock of the current state of knowledge on women, peace and security issues, including efforts to increase women's participation in post-conflict reconstruction strategies and their protection from wartime sexual violence.
