Since 2017, WLP Turkey/KEDV has been working with seasonal agricultural workers in the hazelnut harvest to inform them about environmental threats to their employment security and safety, and to improve their working conditions through women’s collective leadership. One ongoing challenge has been to eliminate child labor.
In September 2018, activists from six countries in the Middle East and Africa convened in Beirut for a workshop on women, peace, and security. The event, which was hosted by WLP Lebanon/CRTD-A, created a multinational network of advocates to bring women to peacebuilding.
