Views of women from North and North Eastern Uganda on the Peace Talks
From 1-3 August 2007, the Ugandan Women’s Coalition for Peace and the Women’s Initiatives for Gender Justice held a meeting in Gulu with 40 women leaders from north and north eastern Uganda to analyse the Peace Talks and the Agreements signed so far and to seek their views on the crucial issues of justice and peace. At the ‘Gulu Gathering’ women articulated their vision, demands and proposals for accountability, reconciliation and peace for the Greater North of Uganda and launched a ‘Women’s Team’ to participate in the Talks when they resume in Octobe.
