ASO - Amouda

Tomorrow, Thursday, ASO Center for Consultancy and Strategic Studies will organize a dialogue session on women's role and their contribution to enhancing dialogue mechanisms between local actors in NES.

This session follows the activities of the “Enhancing Democracy Approach in NES” project, that ASO Center is working on with the support of the NPA Organization in the governorates of Raqqa, Al-Hasaka and Deir Ezzor.

The session will be attended by 28 NES women, both inside and out of Syria. The session is physically held in the Zana Hall in Qamishlo/Qamishli, and for residents outside the country, it took place on the ZOOM application.

The session aims to acknowledge and discuss the role and contribution of women in enhancing the mechanisms and demands of women from local actors in NES.

Moreover, it covers two key axes: the women's role and their contribution to strengthening dialogue mechanisms between local political actors, and women's demands from local political actors.

The next session is supposed to revolve around unions' role and contribution in strengthening the mechanisms of dialogue between political actors.

It is expected that ASO Center for Consultancy and Strategic Studies will hold a session with clan elders, legal figures and clerics after the end of this session.

Earlier, ASO Centre organized a dialogue session on media and local political dialogue mechanisms, involving journalists, local media in the region and local actors.

ASO also convened a meeting between members of the NES NGO platform and the EU, with a view to building confidence and increasing coordination between members of the NES NGO platform and international actors in the Syrian issue.

It should be noted that this session is one of the activities of the Project for Enhancing Democracy Approach, which is implemented by ASO Center in the governorates of Raqqa, Al-Hasaka and Deir Ezzor, to build trust between academics and local actors in the NES.
