The article explores The Women, Peace and Security agenda as a knowledge system, an episteme, that over a quarter century has shaped a new field where research, policy, and practice intersect. Through a critical analysis, the article explores what knowledge is recognized as valuable and which actors are seen as legitimate knowledge holders. We argue that the WPS agenda has evolved through the global circulation of women’s lived experiences, reshaping gendered power structures. Finally, we reflect on the importance of examining the conditions of knowledge production and making visible the relationship between epistemic power, agency, and violence.
