Events
In November 2001, Canadian Women Voters Congress President, Charlene Brisson and Chair of the Women’s Campaign School, Joanne Silver, travelled to Belgrade, Serbia to meet with women’s groups. They shared their knowledge of the Women’s Campaign School and were privileged to hear about the incredible activities that the Serbian women were doing to become active participants in their first democratically elected government. Here are two of the articles that resulted from the trip.
