Abstract:
|
This paper attempts to critically assess the relevance of a gender framework of peace through the theoretical and empirical analysis of the roles women have played in conflict management operations in West Africa. The study considers gendered theories of war and peace, discusses the impact of conflict on women’s daily lives and the role women have played in conflict resolution, evaluates the difficult challenges women still face as participants in the peacekeeping in Africa, and concludes with a consideration of the impact of gender on the peace process. The paper follows a case study approach and centers on the analysis of women and conflict management in West Africa, particularly in Senegal, Nigeria, and the Mano River Union countries of Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia. |
