 Conference
“The Social and Political
Empowerment of Women based on
Women’s Stories”, 4-6 November
in Istanbul
This event is co-organised by
the North-South Centre, the
Parliamentary Assembly of the
Council of Europe and the
Turkish Authorities. The
Conference “The Social and
Political Empowerment of Women
based on Women’s Stories” aims
to be a venue for experience
sharing, based on the assumption
that testimonies and exchanges
between women from different
walks of life create
opportunities for empowerment.
Women will be invited to share
their stories from various
spheres of life, learn from and
inspire each other. The
conference will address the many
challenges and obstacles women
face today and will propose
practical solutions at various
levels (governmental,
parliamentary, civil society),
and in respect of the diversity
of the situations in the region.

(Portugal)
This event was organised by the North-South
Centre of the Council of Europe
in partnership with the Alliance
of Civilisations and in
cooperation with the Aga Khan
Development Network and the

democratic reform in the
southern Neighbourhood”, funded
by the European Union and
implemented by the Council of

The theme for 2012 was "The Arab Season: from change
to challenges". It was a
follow-up to the previous year’s
edition and focused again on
the developments in the Arab
countries of Northern Africa and
the Middle East in order to take
stock of the progress made - and
obstacles met - on the path
towards democracy. Particular
attention was paid to new
political elites, youth and
women activists and to the
process of democratic reforms.
