<SPAM> online course Gender and Conflict

2004. Aug. 28., Szo, 09:23:01 CEST

The highly succesfull online course 'Gender and Conflict
Transformation' of The Network University will run again September 20
till October 15. Please announce the course in your mailinglist or on
your website. The objective of the course is to parovide online
training to increase gender sensitivity in conflict transformation, by
strengthening civil society organisation's participation in resolving
conflicts, because war is a gendered activity. In most violent
conflict situations security is considered a men's affair and is
exclusively defined in military terms. Human security, based on
universal human needs, is however essential and often underrated as 
a factor contributing to lasting peace. Given the rapid proliferation of
violence, terrorism and conflict during the last decade, women's
different skills, perspectives and leadership styles can prove
extremely useful to ensure human security, by contributing to changing
perceptions, building relationships and developing common
understandings and visions that benefit families, communities and
nations worldwide. A gender-sensitive approach in conflict
transformation is therefore fundamental.

Thank you very much,
