The Center for Strategic Studies to Support Women and Children, in cooperation with the Regional Program for the Gulf States of the German Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS), concluded a specialized training course targeted women in political parties after six days of intensive activities and events, and in the presence of a number of political party representatives (Mr. Abdulbari Al-Barkani, Deputy Head of the General People's Congress branch in Taiz Governorate; Mr. Adel Al-Uqaibi, Secretary of the Popular Nasserist Unionist Organization branch in the governorate; and Ms. Salwa Al-Absi, acting head of the Women Department in the Yemeni Socialist Party).
The training course sought to explore the practical mechanisms and opportunities available to enable Yemeni women to assume influential positions in the local and national political scene. It also focused on enhancing the active presence of women within party organizations by refining leadership skills and opening new horizons for participation in decision-making processes.
Participants on the closing day unanimously agreed on the vital role played by these training programs in activating the participation of Yemeni women within the national political system. They pointed out that empowering women politically is a key pillar in the process of building a political system that is inclusive and sustainable, in a way that reflects true societal diversity and utilizing all available national energies.
The training course also resulted in the formation of a political network for the components of the parties participating in the training. This initiative comes as part of the ongoing efforts to enhance the participation of Yemeni women in public life and consolidate the principles of equality and justice in political representation.
