Abstract

In a world characterized by violence and conflicts from the individual level to the community level, we must strive to make peace with one another. Among those seriously affected in conflict situations are women. Though women are considered the most vulnerable in times of conflict-and turn out to be the most ignored, women‘s, role in peacemaking and conflict resolution cannot be underestimated. The ongoing socio-economic and political crisis in Cameroon has affected women in many ways. To end the conflict, women organizations have been carrying out peacemaking activities. This paper will explore the different measures and actions taken by women’s organizations in the Cameroon Peace process.
