Women and conflict: Navigating challenges and driving change

International Women’s Day this year took place on 8th March 2025. It was a time to reflect on the challenges and achievements of women worldwide. Now that the day has passed, it is thoughtful to remind ourselves of one of the many subjects discussed. This year, we focussed on women’s experiences in conflict—whether in the workplace, in leadership, or in broader societal struggles. Conflict is not inherently negative; it can be a catalyst for change. However, women experience and navigate conflict differently from men, often having to challenge stereotypes, push against systemic biases, and adopt nuanced strategies to be heard and respected.
