- Description
- The author looks at how women's contributions matter in peace and security processes. She looks at women's activities and sees if they can be separately from peacebuilding efforts in general. Decisively answering these questions, Sanam Anderlini offers a cross-regional analysis of women's peacebuilding initiatives around the world. Anderlini also traces the evolution of international policies in this arena and highlights the endemic problems that stunt progress. Her astute analysis, based on extensive research and experience, demonstrates how gender sensitivity in programming can be a catalytic component in the complex task of building sustainable peace and provides concrete examples of how to draw on women's untapped potential.
