Abstract

Engendered-sustainable peace has rarely been discussed from a critical perspective and has been even less analysed by peace researchers (Oswald Spring 2016). The question is why has this been the case? To understand the lack of visibility of gender and feminist studies in peace research, we must go back to the socially developed system of power, dominance, violence and control exercised by patriarchy (Wallerstein 1994). This system originated thousands of years ago in societies that have developed irrigated agriculture and were able to produce a food surplus. These surpluses allowed a primitive accumulation of capital, an incipient social stratification and an emerging division of labour within these societies. Greater productive achievements in the Fertile Crescent, in India, China, Mesoamerica and South America improved living conditions and enabled these societies to promote trade and interchange with neighbours.

The number of deaths of baby girls was fifteen times higher than of baby boys two years after a strong typhoon in Philippines, which demonstrates the still unconscious deep roots of patriarchy dominating in the majority of families (Anttila et al. 2013).
