Cross-learning without expensive plane tickets, hotels and fees!
Dear colleagues, It was really inspiring to participate in this global dialogue on unarmed accompaniment. I was really excited to have the cross learning between Peace Brigades International (PBI), Christian Peacemakers Team (CPT), Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) and others... and there was no polluting airplane tickets to purchase, nor was there any expensive hotel and conference fees.
Using information shared in dialogue in a training for women activists
I participated as a featured resource practitioner in the Tactical Dialogue - 'Staying Safe: Security Resources for Human Rights Defenders.'
In Indonesia [we are] organising a workshop on e-campaigning for women activists at the frontline of challenging the 'misuse' of culture / religion to justify discrimination and violence against women and girls. We are doing this in collaboration with APC WNSP and we have 18 activists from Indonesia , Pakistan , Afghanistan , Malaysia and Philippines who will explore how the virtual space can be used to support their campaigning and we have a session specifically on security issues associated with our use of IT. I have picked up a lot from our dialogue which I will be bringing into the conversation.
It was great working with you and the rest and I hope to join the next dialogue.
