In co-operation with the non-governmental resource centre in Azerbaijan, established by the "Dilara Aliyeva" Association for the Protection of Women's Rights, the Office has continued to provide training opportunities for local women in the regions and facilitate discussions on existing social problems and ways to solve them.
The meeting will gather 25 active women to discuss the region's most prevalent problems and to bring them to the attention of local authorities and NGOs. Participants will discuss solutions and lobby for their participation in the decision-making.
