Conflict is a gendered phenomenon and in later years research have discovered how women play several different roles in conflict. They can experience it as victims and hence be vulnerable to forms of violence, as well as agents where the women are either a warring actor or works an agent of change. However, when knowledge about what kinds of roles women experiences in conflict goes unrecognized, it leads to consequences. The consequences can be such as not taken women’s experiences and needs into consideration when making post- conflict programmes. By conducting a qualitative content analysis, this thesis examines how women’s experiences are taken into consideration in post-conflict programming. The analysis is based on a feminist perspective. The theoretical framework consists of three themes which are Gender and Power, Intersectionality and Victimhood and Agency. The same themes are the basis for the analysis. By analysing the Government of Nepal’s National Action Plan on implementing Resolution 1325 and Resolution 1820 in a post-conflict society, it is found that women’s diverse experiences are to some degree considered. However, a deeper analysis of the complex positions and several axes are not found to be considered by the Government of Nepal.
