Abstract	Societies with higher levels of gender equality are more democratic, stable, and prosperous; consequently, democracy stands on the shoulders of gender equality (Hudson et al., 2012). Contrastingly, democracy is often undermined by hierarchical social relations and violence associated with patriarchal societies (Hudson et al., 2012). Violence and aggression are intimately linked to patriarchal societies through hegemonic and harmful forms of masculinities used to maintain the status quo (Ugur-Cinar, 2017). Repressive violence is often employed by those in power to delegitimize opposition, suppress pluralism, and other challenges to the patriarchal gender binary (Richards, 2013; Ugur-Cinar, 2017). These factors contribute to gender inequality and make society more susceptible and less resilient to con? ict. To better understand how values and practices associated with gender inequality undermine democracy and peace, this chapter examines how citizenship identity and engagement are represented in civics textbooks in a con? ict-affected society through a gendered lens.
