Background for Women Inclusion
➡️In the United States, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton struggled to win for women in America the right to vote.
➡️ In 1920, their work culminated in the 19th amendment of the United States Constitution, which granted women this right.
Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughter Christabel did much the same thing in England.
➡️In 1928, these suffragists saw the passage of the
Representation of the People Act giving women and men equal
voting rights in England
➡️ African women of antiquity were legendary for their beauty, bravery and power. Especially great were the Queens of Ethiopia; Queen of Sheba (960 B.C.), Candace of Meroe and her defeat of Alexander the Great (332 B.C.)

Limiting Factors
➡️According to Applied Knowledge Service, Women’s participation in conflict resolution and peacebuilding is limited by a number of factors, including:
➡️The prevalence of rape and sexual assault, as in Rwanda, Bosnia and Kashmir. This form of abuse generates fear and helps to silence campaigns for social, economic and political rights.
➡️Women are most likely to have fled conflict, and take on responsibilities such as primary careers and providers for dependents, which makes participation in peacebuilding more difficult.
➡️Cultural pressures against women putting themselves forward, that pressure women to refrain from travel, and not to engage in important public arenas. Where women do participate, they may not have the required education or training.

➡️A lack of resources such as a lack of access to employment opportunities and to productive assets such as land, capital, health services, training and education.
➡️Women’s movements do not have established mechanisms to monitor and evaluate the implementation of the gender agenda in post-conflict settings. For example, in Somalia male-dominated structures have not seen the need to implement agreed affirmative action.

📍 who should include women?
➡️ Families
➡️ Communities
➡️ Professionals
➡️ Political Parties
➡️ Civil Societies
➡️ Governments
➡️ Media
➡️ intellectuals
📍 Success Stories
➡️ Before the passage of the U.N. Women, Peace and Security act,
a review of 664 peace agreements from 1990-2000 by U.N.
Women noted that only 11% of them included any reference to
women’s security and inclusion. And from 1992-2011, only 4%
of signatories and less than 10% of negotiators were
women(USIP).
➡️ Narrowing the gender gap is the only solution for our
sustainable peace
➡️ Women should be included in the process of mediation
They should not seen only as a victims but contributors for
peace
