Prof. Fionnual Ní Aoláin Authors Blog Post Coinciding with the 25th Anniversary of the Women, Peace and Security Agenda at the U.N.

Professor Fionnuala Ní Aoláin, Regents Professor; Robina Chair in Law, Public Policy, and Society; and faculty director of Minnesota Law’s Human Rights Center, posted a blog to coincide with the 25th Anniversary of the Women, Peace and Security Agenda at the U.N. In it, she writes, “In recent years, attacks on maternity hospitals, fertility clinics, and women’s medical centers in sites of armed conflict are visible and undulating. In parallel, the structural violence of deliberate starvation, water deprivation, desalination destruction, and sewage pollution from military targeting harms mothers. This can be most particularly observed in Gaza, but it is also present in many conflict zones across the world.”
