Training on women advocacy by Safadi Foundation in Tripoli || Newspapers (Arabic)

Safadi Foundation organized yesterday an advocacy training workshop at the women academy center in Tripoli targeting a local women committee. Mona Bukhari, the center’s manager, facilitated the training event which was attended by 15 women from Daher Al-Magharr – Tripoli. The training focused on the importance of advocacy for achieving women’s rights as well as raising awareness around the dire social and security conditions which results in gross violation in citizens’ rights (mainly of women, children and youth), and discussed ways of addressing the present situation. At the end, the local women committee emphasized the importance of lobbying the authorities to find and implement the right solutions that will bring back stability and security to the region. It is worth mentioning that the training session was part of the “Road to Peace Project” which the Safadi Foundation is implementing since last June in North Lebanon.
