Mediation refers to one or more individuals facilitating a negotiation among disputants to help them try to resolve, to their satisfaction, an issue or issues of concern. There is increasing interest in using mediation in a wide variety of circumstances (e.g., divorce, child custody, family disagreements, small claims issues, business matters, community problems, environmental issues and intrastate violent conflicts). Although professional women mediators in many countries are often involved in certain kinds of mediations as mediators or as members of mediation teams, this is not always the case. Examined here is the fact that few women mediators are involved as lead mediators or members of mediation teams in conflict zones areas that are often large, involve complex issues and have been, or continue to be, violent. This article first discusses the concepts of inclusive peacebuilding and inclusive peacemaking.1 This is followed by a short discussion about mediation, and then further information is provided about women mediators. Finally, suggestions are made to increase the number of women mediators in complex, large-scale conflicts.

在建立和平倡议中增加女性调解员的数量

调解是指一个或多个人促进争议双方之间的谈判，以帮助他们设法解决一个或多个令他们满意的问题。在各种情况下（例如，离婚、子女监护权、家庭分歧、小额索赔问题、商业问题、社区问题、环境问题和州内暴力冲突）使用调解的兴趣越来越大。尽管许多国家的职业女性调解员经常作为调解员或调解小组成员参与某些类型的调解，但情况并非总是如此。这里考察的事实是，在冲突地区通常规模较大、涉及复杂问题并且已经或继续存在暴力行为的地区，很少有女性调解员作为首席调解员或调解小组成员参与其中。本文首先讨论了包容性建设和平和包容性缔造和平的概念。1 随后是关于调解的简短讨论，然后提供了有关女性调解员的进一步信息。最后，建议在复杂的大规模冲突中增加女性调解人的数量。
