Abstract
This paper focused on assessing the role women organizations play in mediating conflicting parties in Kaura and Sanga Local Government Areas of Kaduna State from 2010-2015. The objective of the paper is to assess the effusiveness of the role of women organizations in conflict mediation and the challenges faced by them in mediating conflict in Kaura and Sanga LGAs. The study is anchored on the Liberal Feminist theory. The paper adopted the mixed method approach with one hypothesis tested. Data were collected using questionnaire and interview on the role of women in mediating conflict. Data collected were analyzed using statistical tools of percentages and spearman rank correlation. The result of the analysis established that women organizations have been recognized by the government and have been effective in mediation of conflict in Sanga and Kaura LGAs. However, the organizations are constrained by socio-cultural factors and resource constraints. In line with the findings of the study, it was recommended that government should assist the organizations with facilities and financial aid. There is also the need for societal orientation to enhance the spirit of women participation as philanthropy and volunteerism in conflict management for a more peaceful society.
