Women, peace and conflicts in traditional African society - Understanding the contradictions related to violence against women in Central Africa
Jean-Jacques Purusi Sadiki
Africa remains the region in the world where conflicts and massive violations of human rights, and in particular violence against women, have remained the highest world-wide, since the Second World War. This book analyses the strength and the importance of women in the corridors of power and their role in mechanisms for conflict resolution, prevention and transformation in the past, particularly in the Great Lakes region before the arrival of Europeans on the continent.
