Most of the countries in the world are led by men, only a few countries are governed by women. I personally think that whether a
government
or a
leadership
brings
violence
or peace has nothing to do with the
gender
of the
leader
.
It is generally believed that women have gentler personality than men in the way they act. But, it does not guarantee that if a woman leads a
country
or a society, they can prevent conflicts, clash or
violence
from happening because a
leader
is not the only party causing or triggering conflicts. In running her
government
and taking a decision or a policy, a female
leader
cooperates with and discusses a lot with many other parties so I do not think that her mother figure will come
first
in dealing with various complicated problems her
government
is facing.
Instead
, she cannot give priority to her feminine feeling (caring, loving, affecting, etc.) In policy making. A
leader
, either female or male, needs to take action in accordance with the situation.
That is
why I believe that the
gender
of a
leader
makes no difference in
this
issue. Many countries like Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan were governed by female leaders and yet the conflict and
violence
increased during their time and
this
is a clear indication that a female
leader
cannot guarantee and peaceful society.
Moreover
, conflicts often happen because of inability or bad
leadership
skill of a
leader
in running his or her
leadership
. In any
country
, the incapability of leaders, regardless of their
gender
, causes many problems leading to the unsatisfactory of people and the decrease in people’s trust level of the
government
, both of which are likely to result in chaos, clash, and conflict. I am convinced that everyone will agree that capability and
leadership
skill have nothing to do with
gender
. It is ridiculous to judge that men have a better capability in leading an organisation than women, or vice versa.
Besides
, the success and the failure of an organisation or a
government
are determined not only by the
leader
but
also
the staffs and the cabinet. No matter how capable the
leader
is, he or she will not be able to execute his or her
government
programs to bring prosperity to his or her people and to satisfy them if he or she does not have a good team.
In conclusion, the ability of a
country
to avoid and prevent conflict and
violence
depends on the capability of the
leader
, regardless of
gender
, to run the
country
. It is not wise to say that men with their masculinity bring
violence
and none can guarantee that women with their femininity will be able to bring peace for the people.
