Jamilah Othman, Rahim M. Sail and Aminah Ahmad, 2006

 Peace may be related to feelings and concepts such as truth, beauty and love.
Peace can be divided into two types: negative peace and positive peace.
Negative peace means to control the violence. While positive peace is to cooperate with others for beneficial purpose 

Women and Work
Nearly 47% of Malaysian workforce are women. More than 60% women are unpaid family workers. Some challenges for women in work are to counter with social-cultural and religious barriers (Noor, 2002).

Women and Violence
 Many government and non-government organizations in Malaysia have collected data which result in disproportion relation between women and three forms of violence such as occur at public by strangers, incidents happen in private places such as at home and workplace with less public spaces occupied by people known to victim. It is reported female victim suffer physical and mental integrity which affected by domestic violence, mainly because of wife abuse (Noraida, 2000).

Women and Health
- the role of media: 1. focus on issues related to productive health and concerns about gender relation for advocacy, 2.  publications of newsletters and articles to promote development programmes which increase awareness on gender and reproductive health and population issues, 3. advertisement made in electronics and newsletters should be done and transform into various ways such as seminars, discussion, research and training for youth to take prevention from harmful disease.
-well-being of women may be characterize from 4 conclusions; "1. role experience or quality is a better predictor of women's health than number of roles occupied, 2. only certain role experiences are predictive of welll-being, 3. certain personality and situational variables act as moderators between role experiences and well-being and 4. for married women, the support of their husband is important to their well-being" (Noor, 1999).



In conclusion, women plays role in different ways in family and community which contribute to peace-building. Peace may be achieved at international level of which need main unit of society and primary agent to teach peaceful human relation such as in family unit.
