This chapter highlights how gender perspectives on peace education are not monolithic and have evolved differently in the global north and south. They are marked by both dialogue and dissidence. While feminist peace education scholars, both in the global north and south, acknowledge the need to pay attention to banal, everyday violence, feminists in the global south do not necessarily use the language of peace education that is scripted in the global north, as they believe such language does not reflect their world/consciousness which is mediated by experiences of coloniality/postcoloniality and intersectionality. This chapter proceeds in two parts. The first part discusses the trajectory of the field of gender and peace education, and how it evolved differently in global north and south. The second part explains what is critical peace education, and how it converges with feminist thinking in the global south. It provides insights from the South Asian region to elucidate why the frames of postcoloniality, intersectionality, power, and agency are significant from a global south perspective on gender and peace education.
