Gender and Education for a Culture of Peace in Central Africa
Situations of armed conflict and periods of post-conflict reconstruction in Central Africa pose specific challenges to achieving gender equality and the protection of women’s rights. Exclusion of and discrimination against the latter in power circles as well as in the allocation of resources and levels of income, have been identified as factors that continue to stoke a culture of violence. To achieve a lasting culture of peace, it is important to involve women in mechanisms for preventing and pre-empting crises.
