Last week, Focali participated in this year's Almedalen Week on 2nd to 6th of July - the biggest political meeting place in Sweden. Together with SIANI and Stockholm Environment Institute we organized the seminar  "Feminism and forest - a love story" at the stage of Sida (the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency).

At the seminar, Wangu Mutua gave a presentation of her views on the links between women and forests. She emphasized the importance of a gender focus in policy engagement and implementation at all levels, but also the role of sisterhood as a learning platform - e.g. Through partner/farmer organizations.

After the event we had a chance to talk to Wangu. See her interview here.

You can also see the full seminar here (OBS! mostly in Swedish).
