Why do women go to war? Despite the reality that female combatants
exist the world over, we still know relatively little about who
these women are, what motivates them to take up arms, how they are
utilized by armed groups, and what happens to them when war ends.
This book uses three case studies to explore variation in women’s
participation in nonstate armed groups in a range of contemporary
political and social contexts: the civil war in Ukraine, the
conflicts involving Kurdish groups in the Middle East, and the
civil war in Colombia. In particular, the authors examine three
important aspects of women’s participation in armed groups:
mobilization, participation in combat, and conflict cessation. In
doing so, they shed light on women’s pathways into and out of
nonstate armed groups. They also address the implications of
women’s participation in these conflicts for policy, including
postconflict programming. This is an accessible and timely work
that will be a useful introduction to another side of contemporary
conflict.
