What kind of peace we visualize…?
After more than 30 years of civil war, the country yet to recover from the aftermath and consequences. There are numerous unresolved socioeconomic, political issues still remains and the list can go on. We cannot talk about post conflict, or post war, as the war is over, but the conflicts go on, in multiple ways and at multiple levels.
Understanding peace and peace building is critical to our work as it is very much linked with rights, peace and justice, and touching all people’s lives, especially women’s everyday lives.
The issues that MWRAF has identified and are working on, have permeated the communities’ standing in the whole area and hence the unhealthy relationships caused great concern. It only needed a single flare of a match not only to cause conflict and hence violence not limited to the local areas but also spreads its flames across the country. Immediate action is necessary to change the status quo.
