In this book, I looked at the Cameroonian women in general, putting in the general views on the Catholic Women Association and how it functioned in the communities of Buea municipality. Only the women from within the community can maintain peace and allow it to work effectively than those from outside, because they are the ones who know where the ''the shoes pinches'' Another pertinent perspective from the women was that of prevention of violence, better still prevention of perpetrators. That implies an acute problem of conflict which seems dormant but is happening in the society. That is to prevent sexual violence against women, which also implies looking at the individual perpetrators and their backgrounds. What has the role of women in conflict resolution in Cameroon in the Buea helped in peace building in the local communities? My observation was a good experience for me to assess if the women are getting into the table of peace building. Women, sometimes if not pushed, tend to be very reluctant, this is because of lack of confidence which comes from the Cultural/educational background of a woman. An African woman,is not left out in this guilt of low self-esteem among men.
