Feature article | 43 Creating Women’s Leadership for Peace and Security in the Greater Horn of Africa: the limitations of capacitybuilding as remedy for gender inequality Cheryl Hendricks Introduction: Contextualising Gender, Peace and Security Post-Cold war global security shifts in the early 1990s created the space for a rethink of the dominant conceptualisations of security. Key questions could be raised in the search for a new security paradigm, namely, what is security, security for whom, who are the security actors, and how should security be provided? A growing consensus emerged on the skewed and limited focus of traditional security and the need for thinking beyond the state to address the security of peoples. Both Critical Security Studies and Feminist Security Studies, critiqued the state-centred and gender-blind approaches to security, critiques which found fertile ground in an international policy environment under intense pressure to address violent intra-state conflicts that had shattered any hope of a post-cold war peace dividend. The 1994 UNDP Report therefore took up the critical analyses emanating from feminist and critical security perspectives and introduced a perspective it named ‘Human Security’ (UNDP, 1994). The Human Security approach defined security as ‘freedom from want,’ ‘freedom from fear’ and ‘freedom to live in dignity’, thereby reorienting security discourse to address the security of civilians in our societies. This new conceptualisation of security, while it was far from ‘feminist’, created an opening for those already challenging the invisibility of women, and demanding gender analysis and documentation of conflict and the various measures being taken to end conflict, restore peace, and rebuild conflictaffected communities. Feminist scholars and gender activists were vociferous in exposing the gendered nature of war and the exclusion of women from peace and security structures and processes (Enloe, 1998; Tickner, 1995; Hudson, 1998; Moser and Clark, 2001; Meintjies et al, 2002).
