The prospective contributions of women to peace-building initiatives have garnered attention at the national, regional, and international levels in recent times. Given that women continue to be substantial casualties in the most severely impacted regions of conflict, interventions in global development have also been drawn to the identification of critical issues about security, peace, and women. This research investigates the contribution of women's participation in peace-building initiatives in Rwanda to the country's long-term stability. This paper has examined many reports and national, regional, and institutional agreements to gain insight into the challenges faced by women while participating in peace-building initiatives. On the contrary, the study reveals that severe war scenarios, specifically those in Rwanda and the Great Lakes region, have not only increased women's consciousness regarding the imperative nature of resolving conflicts with decisiveness. Moreover, it has contributed to an increased recognition of the significant contribution that women can make to the promotion of peace. Nevertheless, women often encounter barriers that prevent them from being granted equal opportunities as their male counterparts, which significantly hinders their endeavors to engage in the peace-building process. Engaging in ‘dialogues’ and ‘peace campaigns’ are two strategies that can be implemented to foster inter-community reconciliation in conflict-affected areas. Concerns such as ‘equality’, ‘women's participation in decision-making’, ‘access to power’, and ‘resources’ should be emphasized, according to this research, to enable women to participate completely as valuable shareholders in peace-building initiatives. Hence, by examining the experiences of women in women experiences in peace-building and conflict resolution, this study prompts the following inquiry: What are the rationales for advocating for gender equality and women's participation in peace-building efforts?
