The role of women in peacebuilding efforts has been recognized through various international instruments that have advanced the ability of women to access the peace table. In order for women to act as leaders, they must possess the capacity to disrupt structural, cultural, and direct forms of violence, engage in peacemaking activities, and employ prevention strategies for sustainable peace to be secured. This paper draws on qualitative research on a leadership program called Women of Integrity, Strength, and Hope (WISH) offered at the Daraja Academy, an all-girls boarding school in Kenya. The case study is situated within the larger global context of the women’s peace movement galvanized by the United Nations to highlight the potential role women may offer as peacebuilders. The WISH program engages Kenyan girls through critical peace education pedagogy to enhance capabilities required for future female architects of sustainable peace in Kenya and in the world.

In this research, we present a conceptual framework to examine the potential of social media as an educational space for peace education. In particular, we examine the characteristics and dynamics of social media that set it apart from other traditional media and educational spaces. Specifically, we conceptualize features of social media such as: social media as ‘knowledge commons’; imagined communities of purpose; public and private voice; civic engagement; and the experts’ gaze. Finally, we provide empirical and discursive evidence from social media in the Muslim world with specific examples from the Pakistani blogosphere in support of the conceptual framework drawn earlier.

Joint Problem Solving

Disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration (DDR) programmes are necessary in states that experience armed conflict. Several post-conflict societies are usually characterised by the activities of individuals who undermine state-building efforts and prefer to work against joint problem solving aimed at sustaining peace. The study explores the change and continuity in the DDR programme and prospects for sustainable peace in Sierra Leone. With primary and secondary sources, including key informant interview with a former Minister, the paper responds to these questions: To what extent did remobilisation undermine peace agreements? How were the weapons and ex-combatants controlled by the government? What were the lessons and challenges of the DDR programme? How are the stakeholders sustaining post-DDR peace at the community level? The success of the state-building was occasioned by the joint problem-solving approach adopted by the National Committee for Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration (NCDDR), ECOMOG troops, the UN Observer Mission in Sierra Leon, and other stakeholders at the community level. This paper stresses that the remobilisation of ex-combatants increased the intensity of the war which necessitated more external intervention to create enabling environment for state-building and security sector reforms. Sustaining peace in Sierra Leone demands continuous empowerment of youths and their active involvement in informal peace education. Post-DDR peacebuilding should be more youth-focused and development-oriented to prevent the resurgence of armed conflicts. Keywords:DDR, Ex-combatants, Peace agreement, Remobilisation, State building.

The Subject

This research departs from the problem of the ideology of radicalism that developed in Indonesia. The ideology of radicalism in its spread through social media targets many young people as their targets. This is evidenced by the presence of several young people who participated in becoming sympathizers of terrorism and even carried out acts of terror on the basis of religion. The subject of this research is the Young Interfaith Peacemaker Community (YIPC) organization and the object is the YIPC program that can be used to spread counter radicalism narratives. The objectives of this research are: exploring the YIPC program in spreading counter radicalism narratives, analyzing the manifestations of the YIPC Program in spreading counter radicalism narratives, and exploring the Role of YIPC in spreading counter radicalism narratives. This research is qualitative research analyzed descriptively. Data was collected through field observations, interviews, and documents relating to the YIPC program as primary sources and books, journals, magazines, and internet information as secondary sources. The results of this study indicate that YIPC has a role as a forum and interfaith youth facilitator who concentrates on the concept of peace education and interfaith dialogue based on the scriptures to build peace through peaceful cadres by spreading fourteen basic values of peace aimed at reducing radicalism and ideological intolerance.
