equality

On July 15, 2010 over a dozen practitioners from central Liberia gathered at the invitation of Cerue Konah Garlo to discuss the question: “How do local community dwellers understand gender dynamics?”  Recent years have seen rapid developments in international law and human rights instruments that address women issues with a particular focus on gender.  These developments aim to promote, inspire, and support international development policy and practice with a view to furthering the goal of equality between women and men.

The past few weeks have seen an upsurge of events at IREX examining conflict from the perspective of youth engagement, conflict prevention, and women's involvement.
