Abstract: A comprehensive, inclusive, and coordinated approach to the multiple conflicts in Sudan is essential. It is urgent that the relevant parties address the needs of women, support women’s peacebuilding efforts, and include women in decision-making regarding conflict resolution and reconstruction in Darfur. This publication gives specific recommendations for supporting inclusive peace negotiations in Darfur, involving women in refugee and IDP camp planning and all return and resettlement efforts, creating gender-sensitive accountability and reconciliation mechanisms, establishing security, and keeping the peace.
