Rural Women Peace Link - Wezesha Amani Mashinani na Wamama (Grassroot Women enabling peace) Rural Women Peace Link - Wezesha Amani Mashinani na Wamama (Grassroot Women enabling peace) Current data, both nationally and at the county, on women?s inclusion in conflict resolution, peacekeeping and peace building process is still at an all-time low, yet the County government and its departments as duty bearers need to deliver on bills, budgeting and financing of recommendations from KNAP 1. Gaps found out that many important actors are unaware of KNAP UNSCR1325 and its detailed Pillars and expectations of them, nor their roles in reversing the situation .It is not clear to government organs, like chiefs. Community policing committees, Nyumba kumi initiative, and village Elders. They are not sufficiently empowered to make interventions for lack of knowledge and laws on SGBV and sexual offense laws or clinking the laws to 1325. Educating them on this will be paramount to better equip them with knowledge that will help reduce cases and respond rightly.
