Impunity Watch seeks to transform root causes of impunity for meaningful, structural change. Victims’ groups have identified violent/ militarised masculinities as one such root cause, which impedes the non-recurrence of serious human rights violations.
This conversation unpacks the concept of violent/militarised masculinities and its links to upholding impunity, ahead of the NATO summit and the 25th anniversary of the UN resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security. We will situate lessons from transitional and post-conflict settings within the context of evolving geopolitical challenges, and offer victim-led reflections on why integrating a masculinities perspective is vital for conflict prevention and durable peace efforts.
We invite attendees of the Road to Summit programme and the Just Peace festival to join us in coming together and challenging our thinking beyond traditional frameworks of security and towards alternative pathways to cooperation, peace, and justice.
Panelists and Programme to be announced - stay tuned! Discussion to be followed by a borrel/ reception (19:00-20:00).

This panel will draw from a report soon to be launched by Impunity Watch on the ‘Linkages between Violent/Militarized Masculinities and Impunity’, co-funded by the Global Initiative Against Impunity and the European Union. This event is funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ department for Stabilisation and Humanitarian Aid (DSH), supporting our objective of brokering knowledge between grassroots experiences and high-level decision makers to amplify victim participation in justice and accountability.
