This book explores the peacebuilding ideas and experiences of Maasai and Gusii women of faith in Kenya. Women of faith across the world have long demonstrated their leadership in peacebuilding. They have achieved this despite their underrepresentation in formal peacebuilding systems and the persistent lack of consideration for their critical contributions, and in the face of insecurity and violence against their very bodies. Their efforts include daily practices of sharing resources, building social cohesion, promoting human relations, and interlinking psychological, social, political, and spiritual encounters. Building on their work, this book provides a gender-responsive conflict analysis tool and a peacebuilding framework. It leverages the intersectionality of women’s diverse identities and roles and how they navigate both secular and religious spaces for peace. The book’s theoretical groundings in peacebuilding, gender, and feminist perspectives provide useful academic resources for teaching, reference, and study. Its stories of peacebuilding praxis provide tools for practitioners and activists alike.weiterlesen
