"In order to encourage their participation in situations of war, women must be visible contributors to the prevention, mediation and resolution of conflicts. Beyond engaging in behind-the-scenes roles, assuming leadership roles is key to building upon the foundation of gender equality. As women account for half of the EU population, it is logical that their participation in these three phases mirrors this statistic. Aside from this simple democratic principle, what is perhaps the strongest argument for women’s participation is the unique perspective they bring to the table and the message their empowerment sends to the world. Women need to be better represented in the military, for example, not just to fill a proportional requirement, but also because they interact and communicate more effectively with local women. On the other spectrum, local women’s empowerment must be strengthened. Education is a crucial means through which local women can gain integrity and be better equipped to engineer preventive measures against war and violence in their communities. In addition to the active participation of a proportional representation of women at the negotiation table, women’s knowledge is also critical in the peace-building process as women are more aware of the challenges faced by their communities."@en1
