level. Both, members and the stakeholders confirmed that the network has been very active in promoting women’s
involvement in peace building, peace negotiation and decision making, through workshops, trainings, and documentary
screening. Around 72% of the members also claimed that the PWN has involved men in their advocacies for women’s
right by conducting several workshops entitled “engaging with men on women’s rights”. During these workshops, a
number of male members including community leaders, religious leaders and other influential men participated and
information about Women’s rights, Women peace and security and VAW was shared with them. PWN has managed to
develop good relationship with male members of the community; particularly the network members have managed to
