I was
invited to the Black Sea Region NGO Forum that took place in Kiev, Ukraine,
8-10 December 2014, as coordinator of the Spanish chapter of Women in
International Security, (SWIIS) and to give voice to WIIS Belgium who could not
attend the Forum.
It was the
first meeting of the Forum that took place outside Romania, country that has
coordinated the Forum since its creation in 2007. Romanian FOND is a platform

member of the European NGO Confederation for Relief and Development (CONCORD).
This year´s

the Black Sea Region” was organized with
the financial support and active participation of the European Commission, the
CSO Partnership for Development Effectiveness (CPDE) and local support of the
