REFWOMEN E MAGAZINE 2022 EDITION
FECCLAHA Regional Faith Women Mediation Network (REFWOMEN) was formally launched as an important structure seeking to coordinate and consolidate the Faith Women’s voice for sustainable peace in the Great Lakes and Horn of Africa region. Officially launched in September 2017 in Kigali, Rwanda; its current membership is spread through 7 countries: Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan, and South Sudan. The REFWOMEN’s current membership consists of women from the Christian and Muslim faith.
REFWOMEN theory of change is if we have an empowered critical mass of women from the faith community from different countries at the regional and national level; and if there is sustained capacity building and enhancement, strengthened networking, advocacy, and lobbying, as well as sustained mentorship and inclusion of youth women; then there will be a robust Regional Faith Women Mediators’ Network at the national and regional level which will contribute to an increased participation of women mediators in peace building processes that is coordinated and strategic at the different levels.
