Empowering Women Peace Activists to Lead Engage Peace Negotiations and Advocate for Gender Justice in Ethiopia

Acknowledging the dedication of grassroots women’s rights activists to the women’s rights movement, a capacity-building training was conducted on conflict prevention, resolution, peacebuilding, and post-conflict reconciliation processes. The training involved various organizations committed to advancing women’s rights, including volunteer committee members of the Ethiopian Women Lawyers’ Association (EWLA). Its goal was to enhance and empower women’s involvement in peacebuilding and conflict resolution efforts.

Recognizing their significant contributions as volunteer paralegal service providers at the grassroots level and their provision of legal assistance and support to women across various regions, EWLA presented Certificates of Recognition to the women peace activists who participated in the event.

Borne of the social justice movement, the Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA) Network is an indigenous African women’s rights network with a soul. We are convinced beyond any doubt that if African women are given the space, they will drive change in this region and beyond. Defying presumptions about African women, SIHA has been carried on the shoulders of numerous African women’s rights activists and has been sustained by their relentless commitment to their cause.
