Fund the work of women& #39;s centres.
Every year @WSN_NI members have staff who are on protective notice. Despite educating communities, providing practical support for those in poverty, lobbying for change. All on a grassroots cross community basis- and on a shoe string.

It& #39;s beyond time for @niassembly to stop tendering for this work but give it to the experts.
Wake up to the fact paramilitary groups are intervening and skimming funding&people who have made a career out of peace are often prioritising the next job not making themselves redundant

Every few years there is a shiny new & #39;innovative& #39; programme with branded stationary and fancy dinners. Because apparently re-funding something that was a success doesn& #39;t tick the boxes. Meanwhile women& #39;s centres are plugging away, not going on junkets or being showcased in media
I was counted as having completed a Women in Community Transformation programme because I went to an information night as part of the Tackling Paramilitarism Programme. A UVF affiliated man led the session. He is alledgedly a commander and speaks for the LCC.
Women with years of good relation work were passed over for delivery of this programme. A celebrated programme with a fancy awards dinner at the end, which fudged it& #39;s books. More than 500 women took part apparently.
Undoubtedly some women have benefited from this programme. The published evaluations say as much.
I wonder if I ever did an evaluation form.
