Meet three women challenging traditional gender roles in peace-building and peacekeeping on a daily basis.
Stephanie Tutton started her career as a U.S. military academy recruit and was soon commissioned as a field artillery lieutenant in 1991. At the time there were only 21 women in field artillery, one of the largest U.S. army branches. According to Tutton, breaking gender barriers has been difficult.
Based on her own experience, Tutton also encouraged men to be more thoughtful and recognize the merits of women in the team. You work in a very male-dominated field. How can we encourage and support women to take on more non-traditional gender roles and break these gender barriers? Anny Tengamendite Modi runs a nonprofit organization based in the DRC that aims to eradicate stigma and discrimination towards survivors of gender-based violence namedWe spoke with Anny about her personal story and experiences. After her father died, Anny was displaced from her home in central DRC and fled to Goma in the east. Women in Goma have, and continue, to experience a high rate of sexual and gender-based violence. War broke out soon after Anny moved there.
But Anny wasn’t safe in Kinshasa either. She faced discrimination for not looking or sounding Congolese. So she fled to South Africa with her daughter to seek asylum, where she lived as a refugee for over 10 years. Though she faced more challenges there, Anny promised herself she would become a voice for the voiceless.
