This chapter explores the complex relationships between women, conflict, and peace, highlighting both local and global dynamics. It examines how traditional norms and war experiences shape gender roles, producing new opportunities and challenges for both men and women. The chapter also situates women’s participation in Liberia’s peacebuilding process, tracing the contributions of grassroots women’s organisations that were instrumental in shaping national outcomes. Building on this, it critically engages with feminist perspectives on the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda, showing how top-down international norms can both constrain and enable women’s agency. By juxtaposing global prescriptions with localised practices, the chapter demonstrates how Liberian women engage with these frameworks to advance context-specific visions of peace, security, and gender justice.
