Synopsis Armed conflicts are never gender-neutral. The costs of conflict be it of any kind are borne disproportionately by women, children and youth as well. It is not that women do not have a place in the peace building process. But women's identity as victims circumscribes their roles in the peace building process. Though a few of these positive roles are told and shared, countless remain untold. Peace studies has had a series of workshops at Guwahati and Bodoland territorial council area (BTAD) district in Assam, and Imphal in Manipur duly sponsored by the American Center, Kolkata and the Ministry of Home Affairs, New Delhi on the role and contribution of women to conflict and peace in the two states respectively. This volume is an attempt in putting together and bringing forth some known and unknown roles of the Manipuri and Bodo women adduced during the proceedings of the workshops.As the volume as well carries first person accounts of the resource persons and participants in the workshops, in all, the book should make interesting and illuminating reading to all in peace, conflict and gender studies.
