The result is, that by bringing women’s need of security to the agenda in security studies and international politics, we can see that women are the ones suffering the most during a conflict by the lack of security accordingly to all these three factors. The thesis argues in favor of reconsidering how to look at conflicts, this by starting to use gender as a tool of analysis. (Less)
