A group of women have issued a declaration calling for an immediate end to violence in their country, and demanded their full inclusion in peace processes meant to silence guns. And those who survived have said the world needs to stop the war and save the vulnerable and their generations. They voiced concerns at the meeting convened by the United Nations Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, Alice Wairimu Nderitu.

A third track of civilian movements has also tried to influence the warring factions, but it is also predominantly male-led.
