Abstract:
Issues of socio-economic development, democracy and peace are inextricably linked to gender equality. The main argument of "Gender Mainstreaming in Conflict Transformation: Building Sustainable Peace" is that gender equality needs to be placed on the policy and programme agenda of the entire spectrum of peace and conflict-related initiatives, and activities in order to achieve conflict transformation. These include: conflict prevention and early warning mechanisms; peace negotiations and agreements; peacekeeping, disarmament, demobilization and reintegration; truth and reconciliation commissions; post-conflict reconstruction; and peace building and peace education. "Gender Mainstreaming in Conflict Transformation: Building Sustainable Peace" grew out of a series of symposia and workshops held by the Commonwealth Secretariat in the post-Beijing decade in collaboration with other partners.
