Description

What roles can women from marginalised communities play in conflict, peace-making and democratisation? Which factors lie behind their involvement in armed conflict? What are the consequences of womens inclusion and exclusion from peace-building activities? These are some of the questions explored in Women in Conflict and Peace. Drawing on case studies from Afghanistan, Myanmar, the Philippines and Rwanda, this publication analyses the impact of women on intrastate conflict and peace-building, concluding with recommendations that international and local actors can implement to enhance the participation of marginalised women in future peace- and democracy-building initiatives.
