On March 24 to 26 in Berlin was held a conference dedicated to 10th anniversary of the UN Resolution 1325 which was organized by German women’s organization OWEN.
In the conference participated chairperson of Fund "Sukhumi” (partner organization of OWEN) Alla Gamakharia and also four members of OMNIBUS 1325 network, representing Northern Caucasus.
During three days active work was carried out in Berlin. Almost 100 people discussed the situation in different regions of the World in connection with the UN Resolution 1325. Except representatives of Caucasus there were participants from Serbia and Kosovo, Israel and Palestine and also Africa, Sudan, Mozambique and Uganda.
Well elaborated structure of the Conference allowed participants actively discuss many issues. The work was carried out through different methods, deep and informative analysis at plenary sessions was changed with interesting discussions in groups, world cafes and in "aquariums”.
Breaks for relaxation were also lively since everyone had possibility to learn more and get important information during informal dialogue.
Meeting with official representatives of UN and Foreign Affairs Ministry of Germany showed once again that despite the fact that the UN and State structures carried out certain work for 10 years to change the situation for the better, there is lack of political will and consideration of women’s interests.
