Prev Documents 27 of 31 Next
Presentation delivered at gender consultation on "Empowering women in the Great Lakes Region: Violence, peace and women's leadership" in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, June 2005
The contribution of women in peace building and reconciliation efforts can become most effective by increasing their participation in decision-making organs and in the implementation of policies at institutional and community levels. In the last 11 years, significant steps have been made to bridge the gender gap and this is mainly attributed to government’s commitment to gender equity, the promotion of equal opportunities, and measures taken to address the post-genocide consequences.
