The WLB was established in 1999 with the aims of working for women’s empowerment and development; encouraging women’s participation in decision-making; and enabling women to participate effectively in the movement for peace, democracy and national reconciliation in Burma.<br /> <br /> In November 2008 the WLB was awarded the Madeline K Albright Award from the National Democratic Institute for their significant achievements in advancing women’s political participation. This documentary was shown at the award ceremony in Washington DC.<br /> <br /> The political empowerment classes highlighted in the film are an activity of the Emerging Leaders Program supported by IWDA and other partners<br /> <br /> See iwda.org.au/au/2009/05/01/no-women-no-peace-video/ for more information
