Mrs.
Gergish Negash, Eritrean People’s Party department for Women’s Affairs
assistant, paid a visit to Mai Ayni refugee camp on 17 & 18 January 2009
to understand the plight of the refugees in general and women in
particular.
During
her stay in the refugee camp, Mrs. Gergish met with Mai Ayni refugees
and provided broad explanation with regard to the current conditions of
both our country and our people, including the overall activities of
Eritrean People’s Party. She also reminded women to join together to
form women’s association and work towards solving their problems in a
single voice. Following the visit, sources of Eritrean People’s Party
said that a group of women has begun the task of organizing themselves
to form a new women’s association in the refugee camp.
Mrs.
Gergis had also paid a similar visit to Shimelba refugee camp in August
2008. During her visit, she met and held discussion with members of
women’s association who had already formed their association.
In the
same way, members of Eritrean People’s Party based in Addis Ababa,
Ethiopia and Stockholm, Sweden are reported to have formed new women’s
associations in the month of January 2009.
