AF Organized Training to Empower Conflict-Affected Women in Sudurpaschim Province
The training was attended by victim leaders from various municipalities and rural municipalities within Kailali and Kanchanpur District.
The training provided an in-depth orientation on the role of conflict victims in the implementation of NAP II. The first day focused on discussing the significant contributions and challenges faced by women during and after the conflict.
Sushila Chaudhary, General Secretary of the CVWN, highlighted the disproportionate impact of conflict on women and the need for their greater inclusion in policy-making processes. An innovative "Tea Shop (Chiya Pasal)" activity allowed participants to engage in dynamic group discussions, sharing their experiences and brainstorming solutions to the issues faced by conflict-affected women. This interactive session helped build a strong sense of community and collaboration among the attendees.
The second day expanded the training to include psychosocial counsellors and female health workers, emphasising the importance of their roles in supporting conflict victims. The second day focused on detailing the WPS concerns and the NAP II, specifically focusing on the role of conflict-affected women on the Subcommittee for the implementation of NAP II. The session was led by Laxmi Pokhrel, National Legal Advisor, International Commission of Jurists and Sushila Chaudhary.
Participants actively engaged in group activities, creatively outlining the key actors responsible for implementing the WPS agenda and prioritising the four pillars of NAP II. The training concluded with a call to action from Anupa Aryal, Programme Coordinator at AF, urging participants to collaborate with local authorities and counsellors to form local steering committees and sub-committees for effective implementation of NAP II.
The event not only equipped conflict-affected women with essential knowledge and skills but also fostered a sense of solidarity and shared purpose in advocating for their rights and participation in the peace and security processes.
