The Countess of Wessex joined a meeting with the Women Mediators across the Commonwealth Network, to celebrate the role of women peacebuilders. HRH champions the Women, Peace and Security agenda, which aims to increase women’s participation in peace processes.
During the meeting, The Countess presented a Commonwealth Points of Light Award on behalf of The Queen to mediator Fanny Bessem. Fanny has trained over 300 young women peacebuilders in Cameroon, and secured PPE for Covid-19 centres in the south-west of the country.
