The growing and increasing participation and visibility of women from all over the world
in various international fora in this decade - Rio (1992), Vienna (1993), Cairo (1994),
Copenhagen (1995) and Beijing (1995) - has been the most important factor in helping the
world to see exactly which values and principles can contribute most to peace and the well being
of all humanity. This has also confirmed that women's participation in all aspects of social life
at the national and international levels is essential for the continued progress towards the
achievement of justice, equality, development and peace. In Africa, in particular, women's
contribution to development and their indispensable stabilizing roles in society have assumed even
greater dimensions in the light of the unprecedented upheavals which characterize the continent
today. The continued absence of peace in the world has forced women to look for ways of
influencing the popular concept of security and on ways of creating a stable environment in
which people of different backgrounds can live in harmony.
