As part of retaken of the peace after the two decades of civil war, Uganda is enabling 700 women to act as conciliadoras and negotiating in remote places of the country. The project includes a net of women who use 516 bicycles donated for the PNUD and visit communities isolated to help violence victims, over all of sort violence.


The objective of the campaign, called? Bicycles of the peace? e evaluated in US$ 80 a thousand, is to promote the participation of the woman in the process of consolidation of the peace and in the combat to the sort inaquality, with focus in the north of the country. With the bicycles, them they obtain to move themselves more quickly and to arrive the more places, taking care of a bigger number of people. “The women are remarkably anxious and innovative in preventing conflicts and pursuing conciliation in this region”, affirm Athman Kakiva, representative of the PNUD in Uganda.


The initiative was launched at a moment where some people who liveed in refugee fields are coming back toward house. “The sexual violence was extreme in the fields, where some people had lived one decade for more than”, John Komakech Ogwok says, president of the district of Kitgum, one of the four benefited with the bicycles (150), to the side of Pader (156), Lira (110) and Gulu (100). “But now all would have to fulfill its responsibility to zealously keep the security that we have so that thus the people can come back pacifically to its houses and follow taking its lives. ”


Beyond qualification in negotiation and conflict resolution, the women had been also taught to fix bicycles, so that they can use them for more time, to save with maintenance and still to make this type of service to get income.


The participation of the women in Uganda is excellent in some sectors. The country is the sixth of the world feminine presence in the work market? 79.7% of the ugandenses of 15 years or more are economically active, in accordance with the Report of Human Development 2007/2008, the PNUD. Most of the workers (77%) dedicates agriculture to it? in the industry they are 5% of them and in the sector of services, 17%.


However, they are the majority between the illiterates and receive, on average, less than the men? the annual income of them is of US$ 1,199 to the year and of them, of US$ 1.708.
