By 2030, the global share of people living in poverty in fragile and conflict-affected situations is estimated to reach 46 per cent. This issue of Gender & Development looks at fragility from a gender perspective. Researchers, practitioners, policymakers and feminist activists explore the gendered drivers of fragility and the gendered experiences and consequences of living in a fragile context. These contributions highlight the pressing need for gender inequality to be addressed if we are to build truly stable and peaceful environments for all to live in.
