Women in an Insecure World (2005) by The Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of the Armed Forces (DCAF) takes stock of the scope and magnitude of violence experienced by women. It highlights the active role women can have in peacemaking and post-conflict reconstruction. For what makes women’s role in combating violence indispensable is that they demonstrate the capability of overcoming the trauma of violent acts, to survive and help in the survival of others, and to contribute actively to building peace. The book provides analytical data and statistics, legal documents and policy recommendations complemented by feature stories and illustrations. Reprint from Web site www.dcaf.ch/publicatins, 9/06
