Women and Conflict Resolution in Inter and Intra State Disputes: A Study of South West Nigeria

What can be done to recognise and support the role of women vis a vis prevention and mitigation of inter and intra state disputes or their universal role in conflict resolutions so that they do not remain an afterthought. Against the backdrop of transnational feminism, the issues affecting the rights and interests of women like general exclusion, political oppression, victim of persistent violence, undermined recognition of women role in conflict resolutions, among others, are issues that deserved to be addressed. The paper examined the role of women in conflict resolution in inter and intra state disputes in Southwest Nigeria. The paper adopted the Feminist theory. A survey research design was adopted. The findings of this paper were that, there is significant relationship between women’s role in the resolution of state disputes and peaceful outcomes, that women participation in the resolution of inter and intra state disputes has a significant effect on peace and security in Southwest Nigeria. The paper concluded that women are important in state conflict resolution and peace building process. Women peace building initiatives have been taken for granted by communities and policy makers, yet women have not relented in promoting non-violent forum on conflict resolution and reduction. Women should play a key role in the design and implementation of conflict resolution.
