Program (EAE) for workplace and education which aims to tackle the lack of

that the curriculum should also contain cultural sensitivity training;

refugee camps;

reports on conflict zones and the state of women in conflict zones,

building process and suggests the endorsement of a three pronged approach to the
inclusion of women to include the following three core principles:
a. Destigmatization, by tackling the issue at a grassroots level through inclusive
education programs,
b. Training and empowerment, women in peacekeeping forces and political
processes to understand the core values and principles of peace building and by
harnessing their greater power of women in negotiation as seen through previous
instances such as the women peace movement in Liberia,
c. Effective Deployment, ensure that women are deployed in both low risk and high
risk conflict zones to bridge the gap of the lack of female participation in high risk
conflict zones so that the women most susceptible to be impacted by conflict are
protected by other women;
