Peace education : presented at the regional conference on women, peace and development Kampala, Uganda 22-25 Nov, 1993

Abstract

Abstract The Regional Conference on Women and Peace is perhaps the first of its kind to be held in Africa since the World Conference to Review and Appraise the Achievements of the United Nations Decade for Women: Equality, Development and Peace in Nairobi in July 1985. Its uniqueness mostly lies in its focus on women vis-a vis "peace", the pivotal theme among the other two themes of the Decade, i.e." equality" and "development". The interdependence of the three themes has clearly evolved with the current day to day realities of the world. Indeed, never has it been clearer in Africa how inextricably linked peace is to development, the goal for which all African people and their well wishers around the globe are striving to achieve.
