Final conference: Women and societies in transition, Brussels
We are very pleased to invite you to attend the symposium we are organising to conclude the international project `Women and Transition societies`,
which will take place on Tuesday 24 April in Brussels at the Palais d’Egmont.
This project is managed by Amazone since 2005 and supported by Deputy Prime Minister Laurette Onkelinx. It aims at establishing an international network of experts coming from different sectors of the society from Morocco, Turkey, Iran and Belgium. This network wants to support exchange of strategies developed by women’s movements in those countries in order to reinforce discussions on equality of women and men.
The symposium of Brussels will gather Morrocan, Turkish and Iranian experts and will draw conclusions of the meetings which took place in Casablanca, in February 2006, in Istanbul in May 2006 and in Tehran in November 2006.
Four themes will be in at the heart of the discussions: the evolution of legislations on equality of women and men, the evolution of social gender relations, women in political decision making and empowerment strategies to support women in the society.
Up to this day, the project was immensely successful and was followed at each step by Belgian, Moroccan, Turkish and Iranian medias. The closing of the project on 24 April will give an opportunity for the Belgian audience to share the discussions which took place all along the encounters in 2006 and to elaborate concrete actions that this very special network would be able to develop in the future.
