The 1st Congress of the Middle East and North Africa Regional Democratic Women's Coalition (NADA) is continuing on its second day in the city of Sulaymaniyah in South Kurdistan. Around 200 women from 19 countries, primarily from the Middle East and Africa, are participating in the congress.

The congress, organized to share women's experiences of joint struggle and to discuss regional solutions, began with great enthusiasm on Thursday, May 15.

Theoretical discussions dominated the first day's sessions, with women representatives from various countries giving presentations on patriarchy, war policies, and experiences of resistance. The sessions continued with lively discussions among participants.

Today, the second day of the congress, focused on workshops and proposed solutions. The first session of the day featured discussions on the challenges faced by women's struggles and the opportunities that have emerged in this struggle.

The results of the workshop sessions, which addressed topics such as the role of women's organizations, the importance of women's alliances against neoliberal and patriarchal alliances, and women's self-defense systems, were shared with the participants.

The afternoon session addressed topics such as women's political emergence in the context of World War III, women's leadership in building peace and democratic societies, the women's revolution, and NADA's place in democratic women's confederalism.

Following the panel presentations, discussions will be held to strengthen the common struggle.
