Abstract
As leaders in civil society, particularly during and following violent conflict, women are critical players in peace negotiations. Yet they remain the largest group of stakeholders regularly excluded from official negotiation processes. This publication presents concrete strategies for the international community to successfully bring women into peace negotiations, building on case studies of Darfur, Sudan; Guatemala; Northern Ireland; and Sri Lanka.
