Gender equality in conflict and fragile states
Last updated on
23 September 2008
Women and men at the community level can increase the efficiency and effectiveness of peace building and peace keeping efforts through their active involvement in roles such as networkers and storytellers for gathering local information, and facilitators for dialogue. Increasing the numbers of trained women in the armed/security forces and involving them in the design of strategies can assist in transforming the 'masculine' culture of the military and police, thereby helping to increase their credibility and legitimacy.
