This is the latest title in the Commonwealth Secretariat’s Gender Mainstreaming Series, which highlights the Commonwealth Secretariat and partners’ work in the area of peace and conflict management. Issues of socio-economic development, democracy and peace are inextricably linked to gender equality. Gender Mainstreaming in Conflict Transformation: Building Sustainable Peace argues that gender equality needs to be placed on the policy and programme agenda of the entire spectrum of peace and conflict-related initiatives and activities in order to achieve conflict transformation.
