Training for women self-awareness/ leadership/ gender
OWDEB have recently facilitated five workshops where over 100 women learned about gender, discrimination in both family and work environments, and the role of leadership. As a result, they are now more aware of their rights and are being proactive in protecting them as much as possible.
The challenge OWDEB sees is that male family members are against women learning about their rights. They do not like women to raise their voice about their rights. Not in the family, nor in society. For this reason, they sometimes oppose OWDEB activities. As a result OWDEB is trying to implement training for male family members, and to support OWDEB employees in talking openly with men about their concerns and ultimately gain their support for their programs and most importantly women’s rights.
