Women are resilient. Women are agents of peace and development. However, women continue to bear the brunt of wars and conflicts and remain marginalized in leadership and decision-making levels. Despite the growing security challenges in the Sahel that have been enduring and protracted, defying existing responses with huge financial and human investments, Sahelian women remain a driving force at the heart of community resilience, contributing their quota to the promotion of peace and security in their localities. Women hold the key to sustainable peace and development and can no longer be ignored!
