Enthusiastic, motivated and dedicated mothers, social workers, young, old, working females, housewives, students and politically active women were challenging their potentials and learning by overcoming prejudices and social boundaries to explore the opportunity of being an active citizen.
The training was led by two enthusiastic female trainers previously trained by NPA. The training workshop is part of a series to be held in different areas of Lebanon addressing women and aiming at empowering, motivating and encouraging leaders/members of NGOs, women’s organizations and women groups in the Palestinian Community in Lebanon and Lebanese society in general in order to increase women’s participation in political and public life of their communities, as well as to enhance women’s participation in decision-making positions.
“Women Can Do It” (WCDI) is the umbrella program for this initiative. It is a collaboration program between the Norwegian Labor Party’s women’s movement (NLP), Norwegian People’s Aid (NPA) and local partner organizations. Since 2001, the WCDI program has been implemented in around 23 countries in Central East Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia. The program was first implemented in Lebanon in 2007.
