Advocacy for non-violence and resolution of conflicts and promotion of good local governance

The advocacy for non-violence and resolution of conflicts and promotion of good local governance is a good practice because of various reasons. It is a good practice because it has been on the forefront of ensuring the realisation of the millennium development goal number three which aims at eliminating gender disparities, promotion of gender equality and women empowerment. The program is there to prevent, manage, resolve conflicts and give referrals to mention just a few. It is also there to help counsel the victims and perpetrators of violence in different households and in the community as a whole. Widespread sexual violence itself has been increasing the levels of the conflict in the district.
Sexual violence has been preventing women from accessing education, becoming financially independent and from participating in governance and peace building.
Womenâ € ™s exclusion from peace processes contravenes their rights including their perspectives in decision making.
Therefore the advocacy for non-violence and resolution of conflicts and promotion of good local governance is there to ensure:
– The right to be treated with fairness and respect for dignity and privacy
– The right to offer and receive information
– The right to protection
– The right to assistance
– The right to compensation
– The right to restitution.
