Enhancing Security and the Rule of Law: How can gender be better
integrated into the priorities of the UN Peacebuilding Commission?
June 2007: International Alert and the NGO Working Group organised a roundtable focused on the gender dimension of peacebuilding in Sierra Leone and Burundi, with the aim of influencing the members of the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC), as well as UN agencies and the national government in those countries. Participants heard directly from leading Burundian and Sierra Leonean women peacebuilders as part of a wider effort to enhance communication between local women’s organisations and decision-makers.
