Regional workshop on The Role of Parliaments in Implementing and Following up on the Recommendation of CEDAWNext
On the 15th of March 2023 the network signed its first 7 years strategic plan in the presence of all of its executive board in a 2-days meeting taking place in Tunis. The plan set the network’s main objectives for the next 7 years to be, mainly, increasing the presence of female parliamentarians in the Arab world and the support received by them. They also started to discuss major Partnerships and event series needed to make sure these goals are met within the framework set throughout the two days. The executive board described this step as a major historical achievement for the network as they believe it would allow them to further enhance their work processes and funnel their efforts into a more specialized and clear form of civil and political engagement.
