In 2019, Peace Dialogue will be involved as a partner organization in an initiative called “Developing Capacities for Women Focused Networks in the Southern Caucasus“. The project is run by the organization CRISP, a Berlin-based NGO actively working on directions of conflict transformation and civic education.
The project is aimed at establishing a network of empowered women from civil society and local administration and from villages who will support each other and work together to address the needs of women in remote villages.
In the framework of the project, the partner organizations from six regions in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia will create a platform to connect women in civil society and local administration with women from villages. The participants will be educated as multipliers in network building, cooperation, empowerment, initiative development and project management. They will conduct a problem analysis of the situation of women in the villages and work together to develop initiatives that address these problems, the result of which are low-threshold women’s support groups in villages. In a long-term perspective, the project strives to form self-managed women´s support networks in the villages to contribute to a culture of cooperation rather than competition between women and to empower women to use their voice to speak out about women’s rights.
Developing Capacities for Women Focused Networks in the Southern Caucasus is a project of CRISP e.V. (Germany). The project is supported by the German Federal Foreign Office.
