Outcome progress note for the year
Women fully and effectively participate in and have equal opportunity for leadership at all levels of decision-making in political and public life (Aligned to SP Output 4)
Women leaders were actively involved in leadership and political decision-making roles at all levels. The women leaders who attended the UN Women supported training workshops and dialogues were actively involved in community developmental activities. Communities and political parties demonstrated great support for women leaders as shown during the 2023 by election for Bougainville were 4 women out of 18 women candidates contested the elections. Out of the 4 women who contested 2 were endorsed by political parties, Pangu and National Alliance Party. Women candidate Francisca Semoso who actively participated in UN Women interventions won the election. Political Leadership Academy for Women (PLAW) training workshops enhanced the capacity of 20 subnational political leaders on Leadership and Governance, Community Engagement, Communications Skills, getting elected or re-elected between July and November on Module 1 from 3-7 July 2023. 17 young women leaders (ages 19 -30) were also trained on political leadership through the Young Women's Political Leadership Bootcamp (YWPB) at SILAG and given the opportunity to network with political and government leaders from August 7-11th. Ruthy Watlen from New Ireland Province (NIP) who is also a businesswoman and President for Kavieng District Council of Women and Rose Pihei from the Autonomous Region of Bougainville (AROB) who is a peace advocator were also supported to undertake a CSO Capacity Building Study Tour to Bangkok, Thailand with a group of other CSO’s under the Spotlight Initiative. The exercises resulted in increased knowledge on working with CSOs and Women led Small to Medium Enterprise (SME's). Increased community exposure to messages on Temporary Special Measure through development and dissemination of knowledge products on Temporary Special Measures (TSM) to ensure community support of women quota in Parliament. The materials were developed in consultation with the Integrity of Political Parties and Candidates Commission (IPPCC). The products were used in subsequent quarters to raise awareness and help policy makers and voters to understand why TSM is needed in the country and that it should be included in the legal framework for women to more equally. Improved community perception on women leadership and political participation was noted during community dialogues in Morobe Province Lae; Southern Highlands Province Mendi Munhui; Simbu Province, Kerowaghi,, Milne Bay Province, Alotau and North East, National Central District. The dialogues reached 113 people (54 males and 59 females). The purpose of the community dialogues was to change people’s perception on women as leaders in all aspects of life including political leadership. In SHP a male Pastor said the modules helps with restoring peace in the community. "Disla wok em sapotim wok misin. Sapos planti lain (kisim disla) save em ples bai senis, community bai senis, manmeri tu bai senis. Nau mipla ken opim ai tu olsem ol meri ken kamap lida. Meri ken kamapim senis insait lo famili na komunitu tu." (These modules have enhanced the biblical teachings on women, peace and leadership. Being a pastor, I find these modules very helpful as they support the work that I do to promote peace in the community and to respect women as equal players and partners and not objects to be played with or kill. Women are capable of leading and will lead when we (community) support them. If only this training was extended to many others in the community, our communities will change as people will change their attitude and start supporting women to take up leadership roles).
