TOMORROW - Panel featuring Green Party Chair Hazel Chu amongst other great line up of speakers
Looking forward to the First public meeting of the All-island Women Forum, which will be livestreamed here on our page this Thursday 30th Sept at 11am.
Led by NWC, the All-island Women’s Forum aims to address underrepresentation of women and further develop women’s role in peacebuilding and civic society. The forum meet on a monthly basis, with this month's meeting focusing on the theme; 'Women’s Political Participation – Threats to Security’.
The forum will look at what protections are in place to protect women in public office from gender based abuse, and how protections might be strengthened. Members of the forum will hear evidence from women who have experienced threats to safety while operating in political spaces, and from those who have worked in the area of improving women’s security.
We hope you'll be able to tune in on Thursday!
