Security is heeding to she who gives life



Personally I think the outcome of insecurity all over the world is the loss of lives and women bear the brunt more given the biological role they play in bringing forth life.It thus suffice to say that if policymakers the world over truly care about security,then the voice of women ought to be paid more attention to from the warnings they give at the onset of crises to proposals they bring forth in their different circles on how they and their families can stay out of trouble.I come from the Northwest region of Cameroon,one of the two English speaking regions of the country which has for the past two years gone through security challenges resulting in the death of many people and whenever there is news of anyone who gets killed,the first remark I get from a woman is 'oh how sad it is that after bringing forth a child into this world ,He/she gets killed that way.'This alone speaks volumes of how concerned women and girls are about the right of life every human being deserves.The fact that for every soul that drops death a woman sheds a tear implies that a secured world is every woman's priority. Women know what it feels like to give life and so wouldn't want anyone deprived of it.It's due to her sense of impartiality that I suggest that wherever security is mentioned a woman's opinion should matter the most.In many African societies,a woman is considered a peacemaker but ironically this is limited only within the confines of her family but if this role of hers extends to other circles where important decisions are taken then it will be a great leap towards a secure world.There is no better way to ending insecurity than listening to the voice of she who puts her life on the line everyday to make sure that another human being comes into the world and breaths the same air she breaths.By nature every woman is born to protect lives and this makes their role vital in maintaining peace.I strongly believe that if women had been given their rightful place,the Northwest and southwest regions of Cameroon wouldn't have experienced the carnage they have since November 2016.My appeal to Governments and policy makers all over the globe is to incorporate women in whatever security decisions they take.Think about endulging women through their various organizations and you will just be amazed at brilliant suggestions they bring on the decision making table to end chaos because they best understand the value of peace for humankind.
