Summary:

Violence during an election cycle is an all-too-frequent phenomenon in most African countries where it may be triggered by political or ethnic tensions, or flawed electoral processes. Tragically, those most affected by the violence are women and girls. As governments grapple with the problem, women in Africa have invented a new mechanism to help reduce violence during elections - the Women's Situation Room (WSR).
