Abstract: The women and peace hypothesis suggests that women are lesshawkish than men on security issues. However, research shows women arealso less willing to take on security risks. These tendencies clash in postconflictsocieties, where the public is put in the position of having to accepta negotiated, ‘dovish’ end to war, while simultaneously taking on some riskas ex-combatants are reintegrated into society. I examine these competingtendencies among women in Colombia following the 2016 peace agreementwith FARC rebels. Using data from the Americas Barometer, I find a persistentgender gap in conflict-termination attitudes, with women expressingmore pessimism than men about reconciling with demobilizing FARC membersand stronger opposition to reintegration efforts. These findings suggestthat women’s heightened security concerns may outweigh their less hawkishtendencies, potentially making them, at the margins, an oppositionalsegment of the population to a peace process.
