Review
The pacific Islands that have undergone a period of armed conflict include Fiji , Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands . Women were very much involved in peacebuilding in these countries by engaging in talks with the armed and warring groups specially in their own communities, but were eventually ignored once the peace negotiations reach state level. However, sustainable peacebuilding in these countries would require further involvement of women, and the building of peace networks at the regional level.
