In keeping with the principle 'teach a woman to fish and you feed an entire community,PROCMURA is organising for an empowerment workshop for women in Ethiopia. The principle denotes the ripple effect of equipping women with skills which are then transferred to the wider population. It speaks to the generosity and resourcefulness in establishing practice and norm emanating from women and smaller units of socilaisation. Women in most societies represent the primary caregivers and agents of socialisation, it is for this very reason that the first mode of communication is attributed to 'Mother Tongue' as opposed to 'Father Tongue'.
PROCMURA in harnessing this great potential that rests with women in society, will on the 27th-30th June 2011, hold an empowerment workshop for women in Ethiopia on Christian-Muslim relations. The workshop will serve the primary purpose of establishing points of contact between Christians and Muslims, with particular focus on issues specific to women. It will also sensitise the women on best practices for Christian-Muslim relations and look at the contemporary issues of Christian-Muslim relations in the African continent.
Look out for a full report on the workshop.
