uganda: Women Join the Peace Wagon, As Rebels Wreak Havoc

Thirty Ugandan women met in Limuru, 35 kilometres from the Kenyan capital Nairobi, to mark the International Day of Peace on September 21, and chart out ways of bringing peace to war ravaged regions of their country. The women, the majority of them from the war-torn northern Uganda, also attended a four-day peace and reconciliation conference between September 16-19 in Limuru organised by People for Peace in Africa, a pressure group, and Uganda Gender Resource Centre.
