Women's Spaces
The Women’s Spaces programme has come to and end and Women’s Platform, alongside partner organisations NIRWN, WRDA, WSN and would like to thank the Department of Foreign Affairs Peace and Reconciliation Fund for generously supporting this work since 2022.
We would also like to thank all of the facilitators, speakers and colleagues across the sector who contributed to the success of the project. In particular we would like to extend our gratitude to the women across Northern Ireland who attended sessions and gave so generously of their time to advance women’s leadership and participation.
About the Programme
Our purpose
Women are at the forefront of community development, within and across communities in Northern Ireland, but continue to be underrepresented in peacebuilding and public life in. This means that women are silenced and sidelined in public decision making; many also face barriers to participation in their own communities. Women’s Spaces aims to change this, by giving women the skills, tools and confidence to engage in public spaces, and creating new opportunities for women to participate in public debate and policy making.
