In the scope of the programme "Enhancing women's participation in decision-making and peace-building processes in Syria," Legal Action Worldwide (LAW) and The EuroMed Feminist Initiative (EFI) held a conference on the 26th and 27th of October 2021 in Paris, France. This conference served as a safe space for representatives of Syrian survivors’ organisations, as well as feminist and human rights activists to meet with organisations and activists from the Balkans, Bangladesh, and Europe to exchange and discuss lessons learned.

The aim for this conference was to strengthen:

The EuroMed Feminist Initiative (EFI), and with the support of SIDA, held a gender sensitivity training in Erbil from 12-16 October, 2021, whereby 8 selected civil society activists and leaders were provided with media and comms skills pertinent to raising gender awareness. The goal of this training is to help partners increase visibility of the plight of women and girls affected by the Syria crisis in a manner that does not compromise human dignity; does not take away their voice; and works in line with internationally recognized humanitarian standards.

Under the “Supporting political transition in Syria through gender-sensitive social reconstruction” program, funded by the Swedish International Development and Cooperation agency (SIDA), EuroMed Feminist Initiative (EFI) held a training for 23 selected Syrian Civil Society activists in Turkey, from the 24th until the 27th of September, 2021.

On the occasion of International Women’s Day 2020, EuroMed Feminist Initiative reiterates its commitment to Zero Tolerance for Violence Against Women and Girls, its support for women in power and for full citizenship and substantive equality for women.
