This document discusses the role of women in reconciliation efforts, particularly in dealing with conflict, violence, and refugee crises in Africa. It notes that women are especially vulnerable during times of war but can play an important part in facilitating reconciliation. Several cases of domestic violence in Uganda are described to illustrate the high levels of abuse women face. The document advocates for women to take a more active role in resolving disputes and calls for people to engage in peacemaking, peacekeeping and long-term peacebuilding work.
