JPS Organizes Reflection Workshop on Women; Audience & Influence
Held on the Thursday 23rd of July 2020 at the Auto Data Center, Big Mankon, this work brought together women from different walks of life; Buyam Sellam, Dressmakers, Housewives, etc, and from different religious backgrounds.
Facilitated by Rose Obah, a Media & Peacebuilding Consultant, the reflections aimed at improving on the content and capacity of the voice, space and influence of these grassroots women in initiating, promoting and effectively participating in peace processes.
Reflecting on various conflict management approaches, strategies, the Archbishop's Pastoral Letter 'NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE', and sharing their own experiences, etc. participants saw themselves as key stakeholders in the peace process relating to the ongoing Armed Conflict in the North West & South West Regions of Cameroon.
Going back to their respective families, walks of life, meetings, church groups, etc, participants with a changed mindset and more knowledge of their role in peacebuilding processes promised continuing this process of enlightenment, while contributing in building peaceful and non-violent communities.
