Abstract Does gender equality get better or worse following civil conflict? Given the plethora of research linking gender equality to less bellicosity, we aim to look at the relationship between post-conflict situations and gender equality. Specifically, we argue that circumstances surrounding how a conflict ends can better explain gender equality levels in a country in the post-conflict set up. We discuss whether outright victory for rebel groups will have the best impact for women due to the regime change and democratic process that typically follows. We conduct a Qualitative Comparative Analysis of 13 cases of intrastate conflicts in South and Southeast Asia for the years 1975–2006 along with an in-depth case study of Nepal. We find that rebel victory does have a positive impact on women in post-conflict situations when religious freedom was high, the conflict was centre seeking and wanted to establish a democratic regime.

战争与它有什么关系？冲突后对南亚和东南亚性别平等的影响，1975-2006

摘要 内战后性别平等是变得更好还是更糟？鉴于大量研究将性别平等与减少好战联系起来，我们的目标是研究冲突后局势与性别平等之间的关系。具体而言，我们认为围绕冲突如何结束的情况可以更好地解释冲突后国家的性别平等水平。我们讨论了反叛团体的彻底胜利是否会对女性产生最好的影响，因为通常会发生政权更迭和民主进程。我们对 1975 年至 2006 年间南亚和东南亚的 13 起国家内部冲突案例进行了定性比较分析，并对尼泊尔进行了深入的案例研究。
