The women and peace hypothesis suggests that women are less hawkish than men on security issues. However, research shows women are also less willing to take on security risks. These tendencies clash in post-conflict societies, where the public is put in the position of having to accept a negotiated, ‘dovish’ end to war, while simultaneously taking on some risk as ex-combatants are reintegrated into society. I examine these competing tendencies among women in Colombia following the 2016 peace agreement with FARC rebels. Using data from the Americas Barometer, I find a persistent gender gap in conflict-termination attitudes, with women expressing more pessimism than men about reconciling with demobilizing FARC members and stronger opposition to reintegration efforts. These findings suggest that women’s heightened security concerns may outweigh their less hawkish tendencies, potentially making them, at the margins, an oppositional segment of the population to a peace process.
