This comment reflects on how the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda has been translated into policy and put into practice by the European Union and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Although the WPS agenda has enabled many gains by women peacebuilders, this comment identifies important challenges from these two very different contexts. First, situating WPS policy areas within a broader feminist political economy analysis demonstrates how little influence the WPS agenda has across government. Second, the WPS agenda is being (mis)used to promote heteronormative, patriarchal understanding of ‘gender’, stripped of any power dynamics and excluding any gender identities that do not conform. The result, then, is that WPS policies and practice are adrift in the patriarchal policy mainstream.

妇女和平与安全：政策与实践的漂移

该评论反映了欧洲联盟和刚果民主共和国如何将妇女、和平与安全 (WPS) 议程转化为政策并付诸实践。尽管 WPS 议程使女性和平建设者获得了许多收益，但该评论指出了来自这两种截然不同的背景的重要挑战。首先，将 WPS 政策领域置于更广泛的女权主义政治经济分析中表明 WPS 议程对整个政府的影响是多么小。其次，WPS 议程被（误）用于促进异性恋、父权制对“性别”的理解，剥夺了任何权力动态并排除了任何不符合的性别认同。因此，结果是 WPS 政策和实践在父权制政策主流中飘忽不定。
