Conflict affects women and men differently. Women are often disproportionately affected by conflicts and constitute the major casualties. Beyond this, they are enablers of conflict and can also help in its peaceful resolution. Despite this triple role of women in conflict, women across the globe continue to be relegated to the background in conflict resolution efforts with formal conflict resolution processes adopting a gender neutral approach. This book is an attempt to provide insights into the roles women can play in resolving conflicts if they are mainstreamed in the conflict resolution process. It documents the experiences of women as victims of conflicts, perpetrators of and actors in conflict as well as instruments of conflict resolution and peacebuilding.
