Why is it important to have more women in leadership positions in conflict prevention and peacebuilding?
Five main reasons:
(a) The starting point is very low – between 1990 and 2017, in all major peace processes - women made up only 2% of mediators; 8% of negotiators and 5% of witnesses and signatures. Barriers include assumptions that, as women are often not direct combatants, their role in cessation of hostilities is limited. But there are serious myths which need puncturing – chief amongst them that: there are not enough qualified women to participate in peace processes (which is wrong); and that peace processes should not take into account informal power structures in communities (which is also wrong).
