In response to a question concerning the apparent high concentration of media coverage of the war by women, she noted that in conflicts in Eastern Europe, there are more women journalists covering the conflict. Drawing on her Russian origins and familiarity with the region, she described this world-in terms of a society dominated by patriarchy.ĭelving into the specifics, she pointed to ways in which stereotypes of gender pervade all aspects of the conflict. Despite this reality, as she noted, “we are operating and existing in the world that preceded the 24th of February”. Conflicts Shaped by Patriarchyįor Sasha Koulaeva, on the 24th of February, 2022, “we woke up in a different world”. They considered the current context in Eastern Europe, underlining the need for more involvement of women in leadership positions and for more far-reaching international policy in order to continue working towards a more just world for people of all genders. Speakers Simona Miculescu, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, Permanent Delegate of Romania to UNESCO, Sasha Koulaeva, Human Rights and Civil Society Senior Expert and Lecturer at Sciences Po and Maxime Forest, Senior Research Fellow and Lecturer for Sciences Po’s PRESAGE and the OFCE came together to consider the question of women’s rights in the context of war, highlighting the ways in which armed conflict exacerbates preexisting patriarchal norms within society and increases violence against women and other groups that experience patriarchal discrimination, such as the LBGT+ community. The event, chaired by PSIA’s newly appointed Dean, Arancha Gonzalez, aimed, in her words, “to dig into our gendered biases and the discrimination in our society”, goals that, as she noted, are at the heart of Sciences Po’s PRESAGE programme. On Tuesday, 8 March 2022, on the occasion of International Women’s Day and in the context of the war in Ukraine, Sciences Po’s Paris School of International Affairs (PSIA) hosted an event to discuss the subject of women in conflict.
