  • February 2, 2012 (European Parliament News)
    EU: "Women Should Play a More Prominent Role in Peace Negotiations" EU support in peace processes should be made conditional on women participating in negotiations. That is one of the conclusions of a report on women's situation in war by Romanian Liberal Norica Nicolai. The report proposes several measures to help reinforce the position of women in war-torn countries and to reduce sexual violence against them. The report will be voted on Thursday.

    USA: U.S. Acts on Women, Peace and Security A new action plan opens far-reaching possibilities to improve the security of women and the world. With some caution, women's peace advocates plan to monitor its implementation.

    BURMA: Women to Take Part in Peace Process: KWO Women should be included in the ongoing Burma's peace-talk process between the government and ethnic armed groups, a statement by the Karen Women Organization (KWO) said yesterday.

    INTERNATIONAL: Gender Equality: A Piece of Peace There are many barriers to world peace, each of which must be overcome in its own way. One of these obstacles is gender inequality, in which over half the human race is suffering under this oppression. “Until the reality of equality between man and woman is fully established and attained,” says ‘Abdu'l-Baha, son and authorized interpreter of the founder of the Baha'i Faith, “the highest social development of mankind is not possible.”

    SRI LANKA: Tamils Await Their Peace Dividend For Tamils, the end of Sri Lanka's civil war has brought no peace dividend; for Tamil women, peace has brought with it a continuation – and in some cases an intensification – of violence and insecurity. In the country's predominantly Tamil-speaking north and east – a region half the size of Nova Scotia – tens of thousands of “war widows” have been living under the control of the central government and Sinhalese security forces since 2009 and the end of the civil war, whose last few months saw as many as 40,000 civilians killed.
