Women in the Negotiation Process

Negotiation: The Added Value of Women's Inclusion in the Process Gender and Peacebuilding Seminar Series While conflict management professionals understand the contributions that women make in peacebuilding efforts, promoting this idea in conflict societies and effectively engaging women in a wide range of peacebuilding activities requires knowledge and awareness.
