Election-Related Conflict and Violence in Uganda

An election free of violence, intimidation, coercion, bribery, incitement, misinformation, fear and sectarian tendencies is likely to produce peace, stability, social harmony and prosperity. Election-related conflict and violence have caused political unrest, partisan hatred, mistrust of political leadership and divisions in society. This undermines social cohesion, national unity, political stability and economic progress

In 2019, The Peace Centre with the support of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Belgium in Kampala commissioned a research study on Election-related conflict and violence in Uganda to understand the relationship between free, fair and legitimate elections and the observance of human rights and freedoms of citizens, before, during and after elections.

Rétrécir les espaces pour les femmes bâtisseuses de la paix et les organisations qui font progresser la paix féministe

Le Centre pour la paix, en partenariat avec Cordaid, a mené une étude pour faire le point sur 20 ans de résolution 1325 du Conseil de sécurité des Nations Unies en mettant l’accent sur le rétrécissement des espaces dans les plates-formes mondiales et régionales d’élaboration de politiques pour les organisations de défense des droits des femmes axées sur le programme pour les femmes, la paix et la sécurité.

L’étude a exploré les possibilités d’accès, de participation et d’influence des femmes bâtisseuses de la paix dans les espaces d’élaboration des politiques. En particulier, l’étude s’est appuyée sur des entretiens qualitatifs avec des femmes bâtisseuses de la paix et a fait le point sur les plates-formes politiques existantes aux niveaux national, régional et mondial, analysé les cultures institutionnelles  qui étayent différentes plates-formes d’élaboration des politiques et les implications de ces cultures institutionnelles pour l’accès, la participation et l’influence des femmes dans les processus de consolidation de la  paix. Les chercheurs ont ensuite exploré les possibilités existantes de repenser et de renforcer l’accès, la participation et l’influence (donner la voix à la femmes) des femmes dans les plateformes d’élaboration des politiques afin de promouvoir un programme de transformation pour la paix.

Peacebuilding and Ending SGBV Movements in South Sudan, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo and the Great Lakes Region

Over the years’ women and women’s organisations have been at the core of advocating for the restoration of peace and an end to sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in cyclic conflicts in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), South Sudan, Burundi, and in the wider Great Lakes region. Since 2006, in response to the conflict situations, The Peace Centre then Isis-WICCE supported women impacted by conflict by building their leadership in conflict transformation and their agency in peacebuilding processes. The Peace Centre also initiated interventions for healing survivors of SGBV, where rape in these conflicts was increasingly being used as a weapon of war.

Defending Rights in the time of COVID-19

COVID-19 has transformed the world of work. Remote working has become the new normal for most people, with communications largely moving to the digital space. This has had a strong impact on the work of human rights defenders and the way they defend, promote, and protect rights.

The Office of the United Nations High for Human Rights (OHCHR) collected stories of Women Human Rights Defenders (WHRDs) on the African continent to increase the visibility of WHRDs’ work in the process of the pandemic and create a source of information to inform COVID-19 recovery programming and policymaking for WHRDs. OHCHR aims to provide a platform for WHRDs to document and exchange their experiences in the context of COVID-19 and to build solidarity among them.

The Peace Centre’s Project Officer, Diana Oroma shares her perspective on the Women Peace and Security and the Pandemic.
