Over the past few months, Albany Associates, on behalf of the FCDO, hosted a collaborative learning event with partners working on Women Peace Security (WPS) in #Somalia. The event convened stakeholders for roundtable discussions aimed at delving into the importance of localised and effective strategies to empower women's leadership and Women's Rights Organisations (WROs) for the successful implementation of WPS initiatives in Somalia.   The event commenced with introductions outlining the objectives and accomplishments of the W2WSproject over the past 1.5 to 2 years in advancing the WPS agenda and supporting WROs and women leaders in protecting against gender-based violence (GBV) in Somalia.   Watch the video below to learn more out the challenges, strategies, methodologies and lessons learned! #collaboration #internationaldevelopment

We at the ADTA recognize the importance of keeping oneself informed regarding the topics of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). We recognize that we cannot have a just and equitable society without keeping ourselves educated on our own personal biases and privileges. With that in mind, we encourage every person to participate in some self reflection regarding the topic of DEI. This month we bring attention to the webinar "Broken Body, Broken World: DMT and the Restorative Process for Refugees and Survivors" by Amber Elizabeth Gray, PHD, BC-DMT. This webinar discusses how DMT can be utilized as a cross culturally adaptable treatment for those fleeing from persecution.

🤲🏼 In understanding the resourcing landscape and contributing to the strengthening of feminist movement building, it is crucial that different voices, perspectives and contexts are included in the Where is the Money research. One critical way of ensuring language justice and accessibility is by translating the WITM survey to languages that movements can use to participate in the research. This partnership between Association for Women's Rights in Development (AWID) and Women's Fund Asia ensures that movements, activists and CSOs engage meaningfully in conversations on funding and financing of movement building. This allows an opportunity for movements in the region to shape the funding agenda through their participation in this research initiative. #WITM #WhereIsTheMoneyForFeministOrganising #FeministFunding #Asia #WFAxAWID __ Image Description: This graphic talks about the partnership between AWID and WFA in translating the Where is the Money survey so it is more accessible to movements & activists in the Asia region. Encouraging more meaningful and diverse participation.

Technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV) is an act of violence by one or more people using information or communications technologies against a person based on their gender. TFGBV persists as a pressing concern, rapidly escalating amidst the lightning pace of technological evolution. To confront this alarming trend, Generation G partnership organised an event during this year’s CSW titled ‘Is Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence Real?’ Gathered opposite the iconic United Nations Headquarters, the venue filled to capacity - the aim? To demonstrate that TFGBV is real and unite individuals from diverse backgrounds and organisations to ensure it remains at the forefront of discussions and actions.
