Identity(View Additional Sub-Topics)
Identity refers to the way people see themselves; the groups they feel a part of, the significant aspects of themselves that they use to describe themselves to others. Identity issues underlie many very difficult conflicts, as identity is very deeply-rooted and non-compromisable. So perceived threats to one's identity make conflict inevitable.

Women and Conflict
Although both men and women suffer in violent conflicts, women tend to take the brunt of it. Women often must face physical and psychological violence, poverty, increased domestice violence, etc. However, throughout history, women's marginalized position has also given them the chance to develop highly innovative responses to conflict.

Peace is an environment where conflicts are resolved without violence, where people are free, not exploited, living so they can grow to their full potential. -- Gerard Vanderhaar

"This knowledge base examines very difficult, destructive, long-lasting conflicts. We explore what makes these conflicts different from other conflicts, and more importantly what can be done to lessen their destructiveness and make them more constructive."
