In November 2001, Canadian Women Voters Congress President, Charlene Brisson
and Chair of the Women's Campaign School, Joanne Silver, travelled to Belgrade,
Serbia to meet with women's groups. They shared their knowledge of the Women's
Campaign School and were privledged to hear about the incredible activities
that the Serbian women were doing to become active participants in their
first democratically elected government. Here are two of the articles that
resulted from the trip.
