Some women's peace movements employ traditional activist tactics such as protests and lobbying. They seek to deconstruct the structures of patriarchy while fighting for peace, draw connections between militarism and patriarchy in their advocacy, and ensure peace agreements address gender concerns.
Other women's peace movements employ alternative tactics that weaponise traditional gender norms, including organising sex strikes to influence male partners in conflicts, invoking their status as mothers to demand a voice in peace discussions, and forming physical barriers using female bodies that cultural norms protect.
