From 16-31 March iKNOW is holding an E-Discussion Working with Men to Promote Women in Politics. The E-Discussion aims at both men and women in politics to share their experiences and strategies in building partnerships and addressing the imbalance for society as a whole when women are not involved in political processes.

I think this is a good chance for everyone in Indonesia who are interested to affirmative action for women in legislative body and the discussion is become more essential since the general election for legislative and senate (DPD) will take place at April 9th 2009. You may involve in this discussion by register at this website: www.iknowpolitics.org. On this site, iKNOW Politics members and users may register for the ongoing E-discussion Forums and read the full content and summaries of previous forums.

This feature is designed to engage iKNOW Politics members and experts, as well as women leaders and their supporters around the world in a virtual dialogue on issues essential for the advancement of women in politics. Unlike iKNOW Politics Discussion groups, E-discussion Forums aim to generate knowledge on a global level during week-long interactive discussions that are moderated by the iKNOW Politics team. Every E-Discussion Forum concludes with an E-Discussion Summary, prepared by the iKNOW Politics team, based on the contributions of participants.
