| Publisher Description: Several debates have emanated from different forums, scholars and researchers on the relationship between women and peace-building. Cherl Bernard is of the opinion that women should be accorded a greater role in the social, political, economic and cultural arenas so that peace and security should increase in society. As members of society, women also lose in violent conflict like men. However, they are most of the time not consulted when the decision to go to war is made by men. It is important for women to be involved in the process when peace issues are being discussed for the benefit of the entire society. The role of women in peace-building is further validated by the United Security Council as captured in Resolution 1325 (2000).This book reaffirms the important role of women in the prevention and resolution of conflict and peace-building, and stresses the importance of their equal participation and full involvement in all efforts for the maintenance and promotion of peace and security, and the need to increase their role in decision-making with regard to conflict prevention and resolution. |
