Abstract
Drawing on relevant resolutions of the United Nations, this chapter examines the role of African women in peace, security, and governance and the impacts of these resolutions on African women’s engagement in peace processes. In achieving this objective, the chapter analyzes the relationship between peace, security, and governance, focusing on spaces created for women in peace, security, and governance environments. It also considers the possibilities of mitigating the negative impact of conflict on women. Through analysis of the peacebuilding roles of the UN and women in Africa, the decisive roles of women in society get some mention.
