Before women started participating in peace meetings, security situation was very bad. Morans used to steal cattle from other communities. Some of them were killed while others dropped out of school. Others did not respect their parents.
We were very affected because the youth could not listen to their parents. As a result, many of them were involved in livestock theft and some of them died.
Youth have started going to school and they are disciplined. They are no longer going to the forest to look after livestock. Sometimes they could stay in the forest for more than three months. Nowadays we live with them in our homesteads… Women are given a chance to talk during the peace meetings. Now we have peace.’
