African continent has faced perennial crises especially internal conflicts. (civil war & violent internal conflicts) which have led to large scale displacement of people particularly women &

children. Managing conflicts & rebuilding societies are no longer the exclusive preserve of men. Therefore, our organization decided to lead the vanguard for

a peaceful continent.

CONCEPT NOTE

Commission on 7th September 2004. The organization is structured to meet the yearnings of African women across the continent who believe that women should participate more fully in the economic decision making and governance of

Africa.

WAELE/ARCELFA holds the view that if there’s peace, our children would not be used as child

soldiers, rape would not be used as a weapon of war, and African women would also cease to be at

the receiving end.

Our goal is to continue making the necessary

sacrifice for the creation of a peaceful continent where women & children will be safe & protected.

We shall also continue to network with

Governments & other NGOs to pursue vigorous implementation of long term & sustainable
