The Chin Women’s Network held its first meeting between 15 and 17 April in Hakha, capital of Chin state relating to issues of women and poverty, women and peace, rights, and environment protection.
The network was organized in 2013 at the Chin National Conference by representatives of nine townships in Chin state, along with women from outside and abroad, totaling 22 representatives. It became quite popular among Chin women’s groups in Myanmar.
The network has decided to work on all the issues discussed at its first meeting in 2014.
