Morocco Conflict P

An essential element of the women and peace and security programme is conflict prevention. Women’s perpectives in dealing with social tensions; their awareness of threats to personal, familial and community threats; their knowledge of the flow and circulation of small arms and light weapons, particularly within their communities; and their interpretation of extremism in local discourse all contribute to the creation of primary mechanisms for rapid response, early warning and intelligence of imminent conflicts that may be rarely understood or heeded by local security authorities.
