Summary
The ITUC and ITUC-Africa, recalling the central role played by trade unions in conflict prevention and resolution, insist on the distinct role of women trade unionists in this area and especially with regard to the violence perpetrated against women during conflicts. The ITUC and ITUC-Africa are convinced of the need to strengthen women's participation in social dialogue, a key tool of the trade union movement in conflict prevention and resolution.
