Abstract
abstract Manchanda (2005, p. 4738) points out that violence is an important variable in determining whether wartime ‘gains’ can be consolidated, as men use violence and the threat of violence to marginalise women, especially in restructuring ‘normalcy’. Empirical research reveals a co-relation between conflict and increasing domestic violence, that is, a connection between violence, militarism and the construction of a macho masculinity. This article utilises empirical data obtained at Njobokazi village by using action research to demonstrate that women suffered as victims during the conflict, while simultaneously acting as agents of change. Women were involved in all facets of the study. The aim of the study was to try and build peace in Njobokazi village. The key factor in this study was the contribution of women, who were a major resource for bringing peace.
