Learning Resource Kit: Book 2 Guidelines: Reporting on peace and security 1. Value the knowledge, expertise and information available from women’s networks, especially those with a recognised focus on media/communications, peace and security. Consult them for expert commentary. 2. Ask the question “where are the women” for all sides of a peace agreement especially if there are no women visible or no women are signatories to an accord. 3. Ask the question “what does this mean for women, young women and children” Find the women at the local level who can bring a gender dimension to the story. They may not be in visible formally organised groups, but they will no doubt be actively participating in informal collectives. 4. Women are not a homogeneous group. Speak to different women – from different social classes, ethnicities, political affiliations, etc. They will add depth and interest to the story, speaking from their varied perspectives. This is also a strategy to report whether a peace accord does in fact include the demands of all key players. 48
