Yet little attention has been given to the specific contributions of women to “conflict resolution”. This book helps to fill that gap. After three analytical essays, women from thirteen countries present case studies of how women’s groups are confronting violence in their contexts. What they have in common is that all grow out of an awareness of the interlinkages of various forms of violence, an emphasis on practical action and an insistence on non-violence as the only appropriate and workable means of responding to violence.Pages: 146engWith permission of the license/copyright holdergenderconflict transformationpeaceconflictviolencePolitical ethicsCommunity ethicsEthics of lawRights based legal ethicsPeace ethicsGovernance and ethicsSocial ethicsSexual orientation/genderBook
