The Liberian group are part of a cross learning experience on the role of women in conflict. Organised by the Irish government, issues discussed by the group included the roles of women in mediation, in policing, in economic reconstruction. In the workshop that will take place on Saturday 28th August, participants will recount some of the key lessons learned in their discussions with delegates from Liberia and Timor Leste. The workshop will hopefully help to highlight what the key lessons are for Northern Ireland in the ongoing task of working to ensure gender parity and gender sensitive policy making.

The Wars on Women: Peace Works

Hanna’s House is working to harness and sustain the energy of Irish feminists in their peaceful struggle to promote a society based on values of equality and justice.

Habitat for Humanity are a non- profit home building organisation who send teams of volunteers abroad to help build homes for people in need. This year they are organising our first ever women’s build- “Heels for Hammer” and are sending a group of enthusiastic women to Romania to build for 1 week.



So ladies, Swap those ‘Heels for Hammers’ and join Habitat for Humanity on their  first Women’s Build in Romania from 2-10 October. Interested?

‘The Exclusion of the Magdalene Laundry women from the Redress Process/Truth Recovery process combined with the gagging clause imposed on survivors of institutional abuse following from their participation in the Redress Board constitutes a fundamental violation of the right to legal remedy under international human rights law and Ireland's international treaty obligations.  Moreover, it undermines Ireland's stated commitments to women rights and realizing the full and equal dignity of all persons.’ (Professor Fionnuala Ní Aoláin,  University of Ulster).
