Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
The role of women in community security initiatives has been increasingly recognized as essential for building sustainable peace and security, especially in conflict-prone regions. In Ningi LGA, Bauchi State, women have traditionally been involved in maintaining social order and contributing to peacebuilding, but their role in formal security efforts has often been overlooked. According to Yusuf and Bello (2023), women in Ningi LGA are actively engaged in local peacebuilding activities, such as community dialogue, conflict mediation, and the prevention of violence. Their involvement is crucial, as they often have unique insights into the needs of vulnerable groups, including children and the elderly. This study will assess the role of women in community security initiatives in Ningi LGA, exploring the contributions women make to local security, the challenges they face, and the opportunities for enhancing their participation in formal and informal security efforts.
