Peace And Security
Abstract:
Conflicts have devastating consequences. Among other destructive impacts they can widen gaps between women and men. Women often have fewer resources than men to protect themselves and, with children, frequently make up the majority of displaced and refugee populations. War tactics such as sexual violence specifically target women and girls. Though women have led peace movements and driven community recovery after conflict, they are still almost completely missing from peace negotiations and from peacebuilding institutions. Exclusion from reconstruction limits their access to opportunities to recover, to gain justice for human rights abuses, and to participate in shaping reformed laws and public institutions. #20150201
