Violence Against Women in Afghanistan and 2003 Local Elections in Morocco Focus of Recent WLP Workshops
WLP workshop participants are working to bring women's issues to the fore in Afghanistan and Morocco. Refugee women from Afghanistan are developing a plan of action for addressing specific forms of violence against women, while community-based women's rights and civil society organizations in Morocco are cooperating to mobilize support for more women candidates in upcoming local elections. The workshops were organized as part of ongoing training programs using the WLP handbook Leading to Choices: A Leadership Training Handbook for Women. Empowered by the workshops' horizontal and inclusive leadership techniques, participants cooperatively developed culturally-relevant strategies that enhance women's human rights and political participation within their communities.
