The Burundian Culture – An Experience
How can the internationally agreed upon instruments guarantee the protection of women when the very institutions that are supposed to implement them and guaranty women’s security and safety are themselves often in a state of crisis?

How can women claim their rights when all around them, baby girls are raped and killed mercilessly; schoolboys and girls are abducted and enrolled in armies; and young girls taken as "wives" to comfort combatants?

Can the legalistic approach help women as they face life-threatening challenges daily?

In other words, is there anything women can hold onto when everything else is shaking and scrambling around them, or has already fallen apart? What can they hold on to in order to protect and rebuild their lives, and still be standing when it is all over?
