Let My Sister Live a Dignified Life and Thrive for Her Dream
A proud moment for NEWA!

The UN, African Union, and the Special Envoy on Women, Peace and Security have recognized NEWA’s peacebuilding works-highlighting the establishment of the Ethiopian Women Peacebuilders (EWPB) initiative and the implementation of Coffee for Peace initiatives, during the Africa Presidential 25th Anniversary of WPS event in Namibia. It's been a short memory that AU publicized NEWA's work on 'She stands for peace'publication recently.
We’re deeply honored by this recognition and remain committed to empowering women in the Peace amd Security Space and contributing for the advancement of peace across Ethiopia.
