Shanti Malika, a context for skill
building and capacity building among diverse women from Nepal Responding to a request from Shanti Malika, a network of nine organizations working for women’s empowerment, peace with justice through dialogic processes and non-violent strategies, WISCOMP facilitated a two day interactive meeting and workshop of Shanti Malika representatives in New Delhi. The meeting titled Networking for Peace, was organized at India International Centre, Lecture hall, Annexe, on December 10 and 11, 2005. The workshop marked a context for skill building and capacity building among diverse women from Nepal in the backdrop of an acknowledgement that the experiences and knowledge of women activists in peace-building had not yet been able to influence the peace agenda in Nepal. The notion of reconciliation, dialogue, and non-violent engagement, all of which had been explored in the South Asia symposium also formed the conceptual building blocks of this interaction.
The workshop used multiple formats and an elicitive approach and was participatory in nature. It was divided into modules on Team Building, Sustained Dialogue, Sustaining Women’s Peace Movements, Understanding Peace Accords, and Engendering the Peace Discourse. The resource persons were drawn from among scholars and practitioners working in conflict zones such as Kashmir and North-East India. They included Therapist and counselor Arvinder Singh, Sustained Dialogue specialist, Priya Parker, Director of the North-East Network, Monisha Behl, WISCOMP Kashmir consultant, Ashima Kaul, and academic, Radha Kumar.
