Running Head: GENDER RELATIONS AND CONFLICT
                                                                                                    2
         Gender Relations and Conflict: The three main issues about gender and conflict


       Women are less involved in war than men. On the contrary, they experience much pain

during these conflicts. There are various issues, which concern gender conflicts. The first issue is

inadequate security on women in cases where the rule of law has fallen. Two, there is normally

women abuse by the armed groups. Lastly, there are also cases of women being abused by

personnel security of the state.


       These issues are very important because women together with children constitute many

refugees who run away from conflicts. Inadequate established community structure protection

and formal systems of justice make women very susceptible to abuse and exploitation when

fleeing areas of conflict. During transit, women are susceptible to border, armed groups and

smuggler attacks. Within the refugee camps, community and family conflicts exist. In some

cases, aid workers end up abusing women. Additionally, women encounter devastating sexual

violence forms. These forms of violence are in some cases carried out to attain various political

goals. They are the first to be influenced by the breakdown of infrastructure. This is because of

their attempt to maintain families together and take care of the injured. They may also, be

compelled to start sexual exploitation to survive and help their families (Cook, 2006).


       The other three issues are the poor representation of women during formal processes of

peace, inequitable and discriminatory legislations and some outdated customary practices such as

wife inheritance and traditions. Poor representation of women during conflict resolutions has led

to failure to address the major concerns of women like post-conflict accountability, gender based

and sexual violence and the rights of women (Elshtain, 1987).

       These issues are interconnected because their effects are normally felt even after the end

of conflicts. These include cases of unwanted pregnancies, stigmatization and sexually

transmitted infections.
