FPSC and READI present the result of two days of work on the general matter of Libyan women, their present situation, how life was just before the revolution and what are the real expectations for the near future, actions to be undertaken.
The participants at the workshop were selected because of their deep experience con development or because their testimony could help to clarify what is the situation in Libya, points to be tackled and to design measure to be implemented.
The resume of these hours of conversation could be on this Arabic popular saying: “The woman who rocks the cradle with her right hand, rules the world with her left hand”.
From FPSC we hope this work could open ways of improving the life of the most vulnerable and READI offers its network to be use as an instrument of gathering, of communication, of sharing experiences and hopes.
