The participants  offered sobering insight into ongoing developments, while highlighting the critical work of women in promoting rights and dignity for all, justice and reconciliation, human security and democracy. In these difficult times when human rights– particularly women’s and minority rights–and democratic principles are already being compromised, women in the region offer a stark contrast as they advocate for a clear vision of peace, pluralism and prosperity for their countries. They also represent the aspirations of a wide cross section of the public in the region, but they lack the infrastructure or resources to amplify their message. The findings here reflect the key emergent themes, and priorities.
