Women at the forefront of peace and security

What you need to know:

The Director for the Unity Program at the Foundation, Professor Ikaweba Bunting speaks to us on the importance of putting women at the centre of peace and security work in Tanzania.

The reality is that, we need women at various levels including at the grassroots, intermediate as well as in high-level peace talks and peace treaty implementation. We need coordination, organizing and solutions to come from the bottom-up and led by women. That bottom begins with the economically and socially marginalized households in villages and the urban communities. This inclusive approach is so important because if we look at conflicts in countries such as South Sudan and Somalia, women and children suffer the most. Therefore, when we silence them and stifle their influence in spaces where decisions are made, we disempower them and ironically also, we cripple our collective ability as nations to come up with strategies and actions that can effectively address the multiplicity of needs of women, children and men.
