"Women hold the key to any peace building initiatives as they experience the conflict in a totally different way from men. They have been silently bearing the brunt as mothers, wives, sisters, participants and saviors, yet they are still excluded from the solutions table. We have found that when women are included in decision making there tends to be more focus away from military solutions. I feel that women when they are called upon it is often at the local level but we need more women at senior levels in government particularly the security sectors."
