Madhav Joshi, research professor and associate director of the Peace Accords Matrix, part of the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame\u2019s Keough School of Global Affairs.<\/p>\n
In his latest research, Joshi analyzed monthly monitoring data for provisions outlined in the Colombian accord. He examined approximately 70 reforms and programs designed to support more than 570 key stipulations in the agreement.<\/p>\n
Joshi found that a higher implementation status for gender-related measures (for instance, identifying obstacles that kept women from voting) was related to the agreement\u2019s overall success rate.<\/p>\n
Investing in safeguards for gender provisions<\/h3>\n
Importantly, Joshi also confirmed that negotiators must invest the resources needed to overcome resistance.<\/p>\n
When he examined stipulations in the Colombian agreement, he found that the implementation of gender-specific provisions lagged behind the implementation of gender-neutral ones. This indicates a level of societal resistance to changing norms, Joshi said, and the need for policymakers to invest in safeguards.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis study highlights that gender measures and women\u2019s mobilization are not sufficient without proper safeguards to ensure their implementation,\u201d Joshi said. \u201cBut with the necessary support, they will succeed and strengthen peace agreements. And the resulting quality of peace could be really impactful, particularly for transitioning societies such as Colombia.\u201d<\/p>\n
Advancing women, peace and security debates<\/h3>\n
Joshi said the study provides data and methods that other researchers can draw upon as they build on this work.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy research will advance women, peace and security debates in peace processes,\u201d Joshi said. \u201cThis study will help researchers identify factors that help or hinder women\u2019s inclusion in peacebuilding.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joshi\u2019s support team for the study included research assistants Clare Barloon, a 2024 Notre Dame graduate who majored in global affairs and art history, and Grace Sullivan, a sophomore majoring in global affairs and minoring in peace studies and gender studies. Jenna Sapiano, a specialist on women, peace and security and a visiting fellow at the Keough School\u2019s Kroc Institute, provided feedback to help guide the study.<\/p>\n

When it comes to peace processes and negotiations, U.N. Women highlights a stark reality: All too often, women remain invisible and excluded.
