Training Update May 2010

Leading Politicians in Bosnia (February 2010)
Continuing our collaboration with the National Gender Agency and its Director (and Women Waging Peace Network member) Samra Filipovic Hadziabdic, Inclusive Security hosted a multi-day workshop for 16 representatives of different political parties from both Republika Srpska and the Federation of Bosnia and Hercegovina from varying levels of governance. These women politicians, many of whom had been in National or Entity Parliaments or have served at various levels of executive power, represented diverse political parties, ethnic and religious groups, and geographic constituencies.

Iraqi Provincial Council Members and Afghan Diplomats (March 2010)
The Office of Global Women's Issues at the US Department of State reached out to Inclusive Security with two requests for training in March. On March 19th, the training team conducted a message management training for 15 Iraqi female Provincial Council Members at Inclusive Security's offices in Washington, DC.

Just a week later, Inclusive Security led a session for visiting Afghan female diplomats. This training focused on shifting the conversation around women's inclusion in peace processes from a rights-based argument to one that focuses on the contributions and unique perspective that women bring to peacebuilding.
