Abstract

The study focused on The Intra-State Fierce and Women Participation in Conflict Resolution in Africa: Understanding UNSC 1325 Tenacity and Feminism Perfective in Jonglei, South Sudan The study used a cross-sectional research design. Data was collected using questionnaires and focus group discussions. A simple random sampling technique was used to select women groups and purposive sampling was used to select UNSC officials. The study covered 104 respondents all had information on the of NGOs in involving women in peace building. Data presentation was done using different frequency polygons showing frequencies and percentages. Data analysis was done using a computer package of SPSS. The field findings revealed that; The study findings indicated that; full implementation is negatively related to exclusion of women (r = -335**, p<.01). The results further showed that working conditions was positively related to conflict resolution (r = .732**, p<.01). The results also showed that exclusion of women was positively related to conflict resolution. Also, table 4.9 in chapter four shows an influence of full implementation, exclusion of women, working conditions on conflict resolution (r =.576, .432, .732, .342 P-value < 0.01) which indicates that for conflict resolution to be possible in any society like Bor-Jonglei State. The study concluded that; among others, South Sudanese women are faced with many challenges ranging from basic needs to structural problems such as a lack of education, poor health care, domestic inequalities and discriminative laws. These challenges are all affecting their possibilities to participate in decision-making regarding conflict resolution. Yet, when looking at women’s conflict resolution efforts it is clear that many women have developed significant conflict resolution skills during the Sudanese conflict. Finally, a number of recommendations were made such as; there should be increased sensitivity towards gender-issues: the mainstreaming of gender in all processes, official or non-official, related to peace and security, is essential. If gender issues are ignored by national governments, it will be difficult to facilitate women’s organisations and activists through for example proper funding mechanisms. The lack of a broader structural framework for the implementation of gender related policies and the lack of a political commitment are currently limiting initiatives in this field. Further, if gender is not treated as an integrated issue in politics in general, it may be difficult to argue for gender-sensitivity in a situation of conflict, where both human capital and finances are often marginal.
