Beberapa tahun terakhir, Ethiopia menghadapi krisis kemanusiaan yang berkepanjangan akibat konflik bersenjata. Akan tetapi, upaya binadamai, seperti Inclusive Governance and Conflict Management Support for Ethiopia, masih belum terimplementasi secara maksimal. Meskipun pengakuan di tingkat nasional terbatas, perempuan telah secara historis aktif berkontribusi dalam binadamai akar rumput di seluruh wilayah Ethiopia. Oleh karena itu, studi ini menekankan pada bagaimana perempuan akar rumput berperan dalam binadamai di Ethiopia melalui analisis pendekatan strategis Lisa Schirch, yaitu waging conflict nonviolently, reducing direct violence, transforming relationships, dan building capacity. Hasil studi ini kemudian menunjukkan bahwa perempuan akar rumput memainkan peran yang beragam dan signifikan dalam upaya perdamaian di seluruh negara bagian Ethiopia. Kontribusi tersebut tidak hanya menggarisbawahi peran krusial perempuan, tetapi juga memberikan rujukan bagi pemerintah Ethiopia untuk mengintegrasikan upaya mereka ke dalam strategi nasional.

In recent years, Ethiopia has faced a prolonged humanitarian crisis due to armed conflicts. However, peacebuilding efforts, such as the Inclusive Governance and Conflict Management Support for Ethiopia, have yet to be fully implemented. Despite limited recognition at the national level, women have historically been active contributors to grassroots peacebuilding across Ethiopia. Therefore, this study highlights how grassroots women play a role in peacebuilding in Ethiopia through the analysis of Lisa Schirch’s strategic approach: waging conflict nonviolently, reducing direct violence, transforming relationships, and building capacity. The findings reveal that grassroots women play diverse and significant roles in peacebuilding across all Ethiopian regions. These contributions not only underscore the crucial role of women but also provide a reference for the Ethiopian government to integrate their efforts into national strategies.
