Description
The Network of Ethiopian Women’s Associations (NEWA) is a non-partisan and non-governmental network established in 2003 by a group of women seeking to create synergy and a stronger advocacy voice for women’s advancement; it was established by 13 local associations and organizations. By 2009, NEWA had reached a membership of 42 organizations and associations working for women and children. NEWA’s and its members’ intervention and support reach and cover women in almost all regions of the country, as well as two regional administrations, Adis Ababa and Dire Dawa, enabling NEWA to represent a national voice for women.
NEWA’s goal is twofold: synchronizing the individual activities of women's associations into an integrated collective effort and synergy to realize their common aspirations for gender equality and launching a vigorous public campaign of promotion, advocacy, and lobbying for women’s rights.
