This chapter examines the enduring and evolving role of Southeast Asian women in peacebuilding, situating their agency both before and after the institutionalization of the United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325 (2000). Focusing on Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand, the chapter highlights the transformative roles of women as mediators, organizers, and community leaders. It analyses how the localization of the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda through National Action Plans (NAPs) reflects both opportunities and limitations. Despite persistent political, structural, and resource constraints, women’s contributions remain significant and rooted in local sociocultural and religious contexts. Integrating feminist security theory and norm localization, the chapter argues that transformative peacebuilding relies on intersectional, community-based strategies that resist tokenism and prioritize sustainable inclusion. This perspective advances debates on norm contestation, feminist praxis, and regional peace strategies in the Global South.

摘要

This chapter examines the enduring and evolving role of Southeast Asian women in peacebuilding, situating their agency both before and after the institutionalization of the United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325 (2000). Focusing on Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand, the chapter highlights the transformative roles of women as mediators, organizers, and community leaders. It analyses how the localization of the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda through National Action Plans (NAPs) reflects both opportunities and limitations. Despite persistent political, structural, and resource constraints, women’s contributions remain significant and rooted in local sociocultural and religious contexts. Integrating feminist security theory and norm localization, the chapter argues that transformative peacebuilding relies on intersectional, community-based strategies that resist tokenism and prioritize sustainable inclusion. This perspective advances debates on norm contestation, feminist praxis, and regional peace strategies in the Global South.
