| Women's work is never done: drying chilies |
Peace Boat made its tenth visit to Africa's newest state. It is just over a decade since Eritrea gained independence from neighbouring Ethiopia and only recently that the physical scars of 30 years of conflict have started to fade, although the prolonged border dispute unfortunately still continues today. Peace Boat's visit included study and exchange activities in the port city of Massawa and the capital Asmara with partner organisations the National Union of Eritrean Women (NUEW) and the National Union of Eritrean Youth and Students (NUEYS). NUEW has been effective in coordinating grassroots campaigns that focus on poverty reduction, education for girls, and micro-credit schemes. Achieving a higher literacy rate for the female population, the majority of who missed out on education during the long period of conflict, is seen as fundamental in allowing women to participate actively in rebuilding a peaceful and stable society. >>read more |
