Author	Makokha, J. Maende
Title	The Role of African Women in Conflict Resolution: A Case Study of the Great Lakes Region of Africa
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2008
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	In Africa, and especially the Great Lakes region of the continent, conflict between groups and nations has been on the rise for some time. This has led to the displacement of people and massive loss of lives and property. The conflict is also a major setback to political, social and economic development of countries in the Great lakes region. The impacts of the conflicts have been much severe on women and children and yet few or no women are involved the peace-building efforts. This study therefore, sought to investigate the role of African women in conflict resolution. African women in general, remain an immense resource that has often been excluded from strategies of security and policy formulation. In view of the fragile stability between groups and countries in the region, there is renewed need to understand the challenges that women face and the subtle but critical roles they play in conflict resolution. A good understanding of the nature and characteristics of some of the numerous challenges women face will provide a strong foundation on which future peace programs and policies might be based. As part of this discussion, a literature review of conflict and peace efforts in Africa was analyzed and a survey was carried out. The survey which was administered to refugee women who had fled from conflicts in the region and are now living in the United States of America, included multiple choice and open-ended questions about the impact of war on women and the role they play in resolving conflict. Findings from this study revealed that the spiraling nature of conflicts in Africa has had multiple impacts on women. What was clear in the conclusion of the study is that the experiences and skills of women can be essential in the efforts that are being made to bring peace to the Great Lakes region and indeed Africa.
