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.
