Numéro 11 (avril)

Dear Friends,

In this issue of WLP's eNews we are pleased to report on the success of our recent Africa Regional Institute for Women's Leadership and Training of Trainers held in Nigeria and our International Symposium in New York on Eliminating Violence Against Women. Each event offered an opportunity for learning from one another and sharing of experiences and strategies. Equally important was the opportunity for networking and solidarity-building between women's rights organizations and activists with a shared commitment to the empowerment of women and girls-proof that the global women's movement is thriving and moving forward. Facilitated by information sharing and ICTs, women at the grassroots are forming bonds across regions to eliminate violence against women, promote girls' education, develop democratic and inclusive societies, and build coalitions on women's health and HIV/AIDS.

Please join us in our collective efforts to advance women's rights and freedoms around the world by making a contribution to WLP. Learn more about how you can support our work.

Warmest regards,

Mahnaz Afkhami
President
Women's Learning Partnership for Rights, Development, and Peace
