#YONECO, through the Sustaining Women’s Movement for Peacebuilding and Response to Humanitarian Crisis Project, which is being funded by UN Women, organized a four-day training for facilitators of Women and Girls Peace Learning Circles in Mchinga district.
The training session, that was held from 12 to 15 May, aims to facilitate active participation of women and girls in the promotion of peace and conflict resolution within their communities.
Peace Learning Circles serve as platforms for women and girls to engage in dialogue on conflict prevention and resolution. In addition, the circles will also promote dialogue on harmful cultural and social norms that fuel Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV/GBV) in their communities.
During the session, the participants were equipped with knowledge and skills to effectively identify root causes of conflicts, and use of non-violent methods for resolving disputes.
A total of 52 women and girls from the areas of Traditional Authorities (T/As) Mizinga and Sitola in the district.
