Around 50 enthusiastic women gathered together the first thing in the morning of the opening day of #Greens2017 Congress in Liverpool. After 1,5 hours of discussion and work, we emerged with an ambitious list of new ideas for an action plan and a new Coordination. The participants came up with dozens of ideas of what they’d like to see the Women’s Network doing. The ideas were used to put together the action plan of the Network.

In the #Greens2017 Congress in Liverpool, a new coordination was elected for the Global Greens Women's Network (GGWN).

Syria is the world’s current agony. The civil war is five years old. That is too long for a civil war. Ideally they would not occur at all. Once they occur, they should not be allowed to continue. What went wrong? The global structures for handling conflict are undeveloped. The structures, principles and methods we have for handling conflict date from last century – born in 1920, revised in ‘45. Those were the days of the primacy of the nation-state, with the principles of sovereign equality and non-interference in domestic affairs. In the 21st century, the world is a global village, where we tear each other apart.

Last week I commented on the atrocity that was occurring in Syria, and asked what the world, and we here in New Zealand, might do.

An associate-atrocity is occurring in the same region, in Yemen, but with less global scrutiny. The same questions need to be addressed.

This Study Tour was under the gracious guidance by the Australian Greens from May 15 to June 26, 2016. Naturally, I have been looking forward to this trip for both the personal and institutional development at the end of my study tour. My itineraries were distributed into three (3) parts: (1) May 15-24, 2016 is devoted for Study Tour which comprise most of my narratives here; (2) May 25-26, 2016 for the Face-to-Face meeting of the Council which I belong too (Asia Pacific Greens Federation); and (3) May 28 to June 25, 2016 is the extensive part which involves technically working in Sen. Lee Rhiannon’s office (on the 1st week), in the New South Wales Australian Green’s office (for two weeks) and to the Parliamentary office of David Shoebridge, MP, NSW Greens (last week). My itineraries were designed with the intention of comprehensively understanding the process undertaken during the formulation and the implementation of the Greens agenda in the different governance level among the Greens branch and to the community in general.

"I did not come as a politician or a politian candidate, I came because I had to help people in my area who suffered injustice in environmental issues, I’m not fighting for myself, I have been an environmental activist for 25 years, and there is no reason for me not to care and pretend to do not know what is experienced by people of my region."
