Abstract The past five years have seen a rapid increase in international attention on and donor funding for the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) – including Internet platforms, social media, and mobile phone apps – in responding to conflict. With the notable exception of the role of women on social media during the Arab Spring, very little has been written about the use of and focus on these technologies from a feminist perspective. This article will argue that both the objectives of and strategies employed by conflict-related ICTs must be subjected to feminist analysis so as to mitigate the risk that the rush to support, develop, and implement projects in this field are not ultimately damaging to women. It will discuss three of the main purposes of the use of ICTs in conflict: to shape and send messages; to track, store, and distribute information; and to collect evidence. It will also consider three of their primary objectives: to prevent conflict; to assist civilians and decision makers in responding to conflict; and to increase justice and accountability. It will argue that gendered assumptions underlie both the execution of these methods and the way in which these objectives have been understood. Finally, it will make some general recommendations as to how some of these challenges may be better responded to by academics, actors, and donors in the humanitarian field.

ICT在冲突与和平建设中的使用：女性主义分析

摘要在过去的五年中，国际社会对信息和通信技术（ICT）的使用（包括互联网平台，社交媒体和手机应用程序）在应对冲突中的关注和捐助者资金迅速增加。除了在阿拉伯之春期间妇女在社交媒体上的作用这一显着例外，从女权主义者的角度来看，关于使用和关注这些技术的文献很少。本文认为，与冲突有关的ICT的目标和所采用的策略都必须进行女权主义分析，以减轻急于支持，发展和实施该领域项目的风险最终不会损害妇女的风险。它将讨论在冲突中使用信息通信技术的三个主要目的：塑造和发送信息；跟踪，存储，并分发信息；并收集证据。它还将考虑其三个主要目标：预防冲突；协助平民和决策者应对冲突；并增加正义和问责制。将论证性别假设是这些方法的执行以及这些目标的理解方式的基础。最后，它将就人道主义领域的学者，行为者和捐助者如何更好地应对其中一些挑战提出一些一般性建议。它将论证性别假设是这些方法的执行以及这些目标的理解方式的基础。最后，它将就人道主义领域的学者，行为者和捐助者如何更好地应对其中一些挑战提出一些一般性建议。它将论证性别假设是这些方法的执行以及这些目标的理解方式的基础。最后，它将就人道主义领域的学者，行为者和捐助者如何更好地应对其中一些挑战提出一些一般性建议。
