Historical X-Ray of Gender, Peace and Conflict Management in Nigeria
Abstract
This paper focuses on gender issues, peace and conflict management in Nigeria. All over the world the issues of gender conflict are paramount. In contemporary times, inter-state and intra- state conflicts often result in wars or large-scale violence involving massive destruction of lives and property as well as disruption of social, political and economic lives. The 20th Century was especially notable for the number of wars and other violent conflicts that took place, and the scale of destruction and disruptions that these produced. Apart from the First and Second World Wars in which millions died, the world also witnessed several other interstate wars, mostly in the developing countries. In 1996, according to UN sources, about fifty countries were involved in major crisis. However, while wars between states were few, wars and violence within states were many. The African continent, especially from the 1960s, has continued to witness countless intra- state wars and large-scale violence, from the wars of national liberation to wars of secession, civil wars, and sundry use of armed violence to settle internal political scores. Since the end of the Cold War in the late 1980s, serial violent conflicts have plagued the African continent, from Liberia to Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, DR Congo, Guinea- Bissau, Cote d'Ivoire and many others. Key Word: Gender, Peace, Conflict, Conflict Management, Nigeria
