Women and girls are the most adversely affected by conflict and wars. They can also become powerful agents of change and transformation. In Liberia, women have provided the world with a powerful example of how women can be agents for change in conflict prevention and peacebuilding, by using the Peace Hut model. This model provides spaces for women and girls to engage in mediation efforts, serve as watchdogs, prevent gender-based violence, raise community awareness and mobilize on other critical issues in the steps to silence the guns in Africa.

In Somalia, women are actively taking part in peace and security efforts, helping advance the society towards an inclusive and peaceful future.

These hardworking women officers have been playing a significant role in gender mainstreaming across Somalia.
