Empowering the Women of Timor-Leste: Peacebuilding in practice

Since the UN Security Council passed resolution 1325 on women, peace and security there has been a worldwide call for women and girls to be protected from gender based violence, and their voices to be brought to the forefront in discussions concerning peacebuilding and conflict resolution. Working closely with local partners, UN Women Timor-Leste has risen to this challenge by providing women with training programmes on leadership, conflict resolution, and agriculture, as well as social and legal support. UN Women Timor-Leste produced this video in collaboration with UNDP, the Department for International Development with support of Australian Aid.
