Challenges and Possibilities: International Organizations and Women in Timor-Leste

Outcomes

One of the activities at the forum was to develop a draft set of principles to guide international organizations in their work with women in East Timor. On Saturday 10 September, participants broke into six working groups to discuss ideas for a draft set of principles, with each group coming up with their own list of suggestions. Initially, there were forty-four principles in total across the six groups. These were shared and discussed with all the participants at a joint session, and were then amalgamated by the facilitators into a reduced set of principles that were in turn deliberated on in each of the workshops. At the end of the day, thirteen principles were displayed on stage.

The draft set of principles represent the work and ideas of one group of people working for one day. As such, it is hoped that these principles will be treated as a starting point for a much fuller discourse in the future, with the principles and the ideas behind them further debated and refined by all those interested in the impact of international organizations on women in East Timor.
