In 2020, the world commemorates the 25th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and the 20th anniversary of the United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325. In Africa, we also mark the Year for Silencing the Guns in Africa and the end of the first African Women’s Decade on Grassroots Approach to Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment (2010–2020). Yet, despite all these milestones and efforts, one unfortunate truth remains: women continue to bear the brunt of conflict and are not at the table when decisions are taken in peace negotiations and reconstruction processes.
