Women’s Rights – 2003

A group of 8 women from the Mano River Women’s Peace Network (MARWOPNET) participated in the Accra peace talks as observers. Concern over inadequate representation led women’s groups to later publish the Golden Tulip Declaration, which listed women’s priorities and established a follow-up committee to ensure women’s full participation in the post-conflict processes. The Declaration focused on increasing women’s participation in decision making on issues varying from the government to HIV/AIDS prevention.[fn]”The Golden Tulip Declaration of Liberian Women Attending the Peace Talks in Accra Ghana,” PeaceWomen, September 1, 2003, accessed May 10, 2011, http://www.peacewomen.org/publications_enews_issue.php?id=105.[/efn_note]
