Abstract
Transitioning from conflicts has a direct relationship with gender equality in the peacebuilding.This means that just as war affect the lives of all human beings Justice requires that all people participate in the process of establishing peace.The use of women in terrorist organizations shows the need to pay attention to this part of the peace building process. Researchers believe that in many cases,The failure in the peace-making process is due to the lack of presence of women in this process. Therefore, today peace and transition from conflicts is tied to gender equality. The main question of this research is, how has the effect of gender and women been on the transition from conflicts in the South Caucasus region in the years after independence? The evidence shows that the women have been able to participate in the processes of peace-building by strengthening the perception of their outstanding role in this path along with the change in the views of the post-independence political institutions regarding their ability. However, a mixture of strong dominance of patriarchal institutions on the society, lack of self-confidence in women and little effect of informal organizations on the peacebuilding and peacekeeping processes in this region have caused women to still not achieve their true position in the process of creating a post-conflict society.Examining the role of women in the transition from the post-independence conflicts in the South Caucasus in the context of the theoretical literature of gender, war and peace with Analytical-Descriptive and Historical methods confirms this hypothesis.
