Women’s Rights Program resumes in Taiz [Archives:2004/733/Local News]

Taiz – The Women's Forum for Researches and Training (WFRT), in cooperation with GTZ, organized a second training session to improve skills in communication and detecting public opinion, April 26 to 29.
Taking part are 30 trainees, a mix of journalists, advocates and activists from Tazi, Sana'a, Aden, Hadhramout, Hajah and Ibb.
The program was launched last January and the first training session was organized in Sana'a Feb. 12 to 17, in the field of determining the Islamic vision on women's rights and their roles.
Mesk Al-Junaid, the coordinator of the program, said that the program would continue until February as the first phase aiming to confirm the spirit of Islam, which calls for equality among people, men and women.
The elimination of the role of women is based only on traditions and norms.
