June 14, 2021

MBBI is honored to partner with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Indonesia for the Regional Forum of Women Peace Negotiators and Mediators on June 15-24th 2021. Shadia Marhaban, Representative of the Southeast Asian Network of Women Peace Negotiators (SEANWPNM) and MBBI’s Regional Consultant for Southeast Asia, along with other members of this eminently skilled Network, will be facilitating discussions about a range of topics including mediation & negotiation, perspectives of governments & non-state actors, leadership & gender considerations. This forum will include case studies from Afghanistan, Palestine, and Timor Leste as well. The Regional Forum is comprised of several activities which seek to allow women to build confidence in mediation by learning from one another in non-formal, non-structured ways, and to change the dynamics of conflict mediation which has been mainly dominated by patriarchal frameworks and practices. The forum will consolidate and promote the sharing of experiences, knowledge, and know-how among women, particularly women in Southeast Asia. Furthermore, this regional forum offers an opportunity for women in Southeast Asia to learn what it means to be a negotiator or mediator in a conflict zone.

These events are Jakarta Time (UTC +7) so be sure to use the Time Zone Converter or your time zone.
