WILPF NIGERIA PARTICIPATES IN THE TWO DAYS WILPF AFRICA REGIONAL CONFERENCE

WILPF Nigeria participated in the two days regional virtual conference organized by WILPF secretariat for members sections across African regions. The virtual conference took place on the 13th and 14th of November 2021 in Enugu State Nigeria with members of WILPF Nigeria converging to participate in the virtual conference. The objective of the conference was to learn from what each African section is doing and ways of strengthening collaborations with each section towards advancing the women peace and security agenda and also strengthen capacities of members on areas of disarmament, militarized masculinity, feminist political economy programme, women peace and security and on monitoring, evaluation and learning. The presentation slides used group work for members to work together in their sections as a group based on the peculiarities in their country. As a result of this conference and the group work section, this deepened the understanding of the inequalities prevalent in the country and ways members can provide support in mitigating them. At the end of the conference, the members had a better understanding on the thematic areas presented.
