Using the Russian edition of Leading to Choices, Women's Resource Center of Tashkent (TWRC) organizes training of trainers programs for Uzbek women to enable them to conduct participatory and dialogue-based workshops. TWRC notes that the concept of horizontal, participatory leadership is not an easy topic for women living in a post-Soviet society to discuss, as they are accustomed to a system in which leaders are generally appointed and follow hierarchical communication styles. WLP's workshops have given Uzbek women a new sense of responsibility for their future and a desire to make decisions for themselves. Following one leadership training, a participant stated, "I now feel I have the inner strength and confidence to change my life--I will show my family that I believe in myself and that I can achieve my goals." Other workshops have resulted in the establishment of seven new non-governmental organizations for women's rights advocacy.
