Resource Bank on Equity, Global solidarity, and Peacebuilding
The EDPP has curated the following Resource Bank focused on Equity, Global solidarity, and Peacebuilding, offering scholarly articles and discussions on Decolonization, Indigenous solidarity, and Feminist Peacebuilding. We aim to advance knowledge on these topics, urging readers to rethink policy-making through alternative perspectives. Decolonization challenges the dismantling of colonial legacies and the empowerment of marginalized communities, emphasizing genuine autonomy. Indigenous solidarity advocates for Indigenous rights and sovereignty, highlighting shared historical struggles. Feminist peacebuilding integrates gender perspectives into peace processes, ensuring inclusivity and addressing intersectional inequalities. Together, these frameworks advocate for a radical restructuring of global social, political, and economic systems. Readers are encouraged to explore these resources to understand the transformative potential of diverse perspectives and collective action.
