UN Women Pushes to Give Casamance Women Mediators a Voice in Peace Decisions

The initiative aims to strengthen the role of women in the peace process in the southern Senegalese region, where a decades-long conflict has persisted. By providing training and support, UN Women seeks to ensure that women's perspectives are included in negotiations and that their contributions are recognized. The effort is part of a broader push to promote gender equality in conflict resolution and to build sustainable peace in Casamance.
