abstract="In this article we discuss human security on the basis of the views of representatives of women's groups addressing violence against women in Russia and indigenous women in the Arctic Council. We examine these views by drawing upon a feminist perspective of agency and power. In the empirical analysis we make use of a feminist analytical perspective to make dynamics of human security visible. It is established that non-state crisis centres in Russia and indigenous women in the Arctic Council articulate threats to women's security by means of awareness-raising and advocacy. When operationalised with the feminist analytic tools of power-over, power-to, and power-with (Allen, 1998), their activities of identifying and creating security is displayed and the co-existence of domination and empowerment becomes visible.<p />",
