520			_aABSTRACT The International community especially in the UN resolutions have repeatedly endorsed the importance of engaging women in post-conflict peacebuilding in states recovering from conflicts. While it is unarguable that post-conflict states cannot effectively attain sustainable peace unless women are included and engaged in the process of peacebuilding; yet, it remains surprising that the clarion call by the international community to engage women in the processes of peacebuilding has not yielded the desired results in postconflict states particularly in Africa where women are constantly ignored in formal peace negotiation processes. Accordingly, the question this thesis intends to address is: To what extent can a post-conflict state that ignores women in the process of sustainable peace be able to guarantee the safety of its citizens? This thesis examines this question in the context of the role of women in the peace negotiation processes in post-war Sierra Leone. It should be noted that during the Sierra Leonean civil war that lasted between 1991-2002, women played an active role in ceasing the war, however, in the post-war era, they were principally ignored in the political and peacebuilding negotiation processes making the post-war Sierra Leone gender insensitive whilst re-instituting "the physical and structural gender-based violence against women" during the war era. Using the conceptual framework of human security this thesis argues that the non-engagement of women in the formal peace negotiation processes, whose abilities are tremendous and indispensable for sustainable peacebuilding is an abnormality that would constantly pose multiple challenges to Sierra Leone and may in turn result in unsustainable peacebuilding processes and impede the actualization of the Millennium Development Goals through a resurgence of violence if thoughtful efforts are not taken to rectify this issue.
