#Press for Progress

3/8/2018

Sadly as we sit here today celebrating International Women's day,  around the world more countries than for a generation are experiencing violent conflict. Whilst women suffer greatly from the impact of war, they are often excluded from official peace processes, which make the examples of women peacebuilders all the more remarkable.  As we reflect on this year's International Women's day theme of #PressforProgress in celebration of women's  achievements, we encourage you to read International Alert's 7 women peace builders you should know. This incredible group of women are working to support peace against the odds.

Last week, Frances and Rosie visited Kigali to deliver a two day women's economic empowerment (WEE) workshop for Kvinna till Kvinna country teams from Rwanda, DRC and Liberia. The workshop helped participants develop their understanding and approach to WEE and provided tools to assist Kvinna till Kvinna in planning their WEE programmes and activities. The training was part of an ongoing action research study looking at the development of Kvinna till Kvinna's work in this area and how it fits with other strands of their work. Paperboat are helping Kvinna till Kvinna develop guiding principles for WEE and supporting them to identify their niche and added value. The visit was an inspiring and productive process. It is a privilege to support Kvinna till Kvinna as they navigate and develop this exciting area of work.

Paperboat had the opportunity to visit the Syrian Female Journalist Networks powerful exhibition - Female Storytellers - an exhibition presenting eight sculptures created by Syrian artist Oula A Haidar. The sculptures were accompanied by audio recordings and the book Out of the Shadows which tells the stories of a number of Syrian women who have stepped out of the shadows to fight for their rights to equality and freedom. It was so refreshing to hear women’s stories told in such a truthful light.

Paperboat visit to Liberian Peace Hut

Paperboat were thrilled to visit the Peace Hut in Monrovia, Liberia. Liberian women were instrumental in securing peace for their country after years of civil war, and have transformed the idea of 'palava huts' where conflicts occurred into 'peace huts' where women come together and work for peace. All sorts of wonderful things happen there - they are safe spaces, spaces to learn, to sing, support each other and to organise. Thank you for a wonderful visit!
