    From 28 April to 2 May 2025, BRIGHT took part in a five-day workshop to strengthen refugee women's leadership and to shape ARWNET's collective advocacy direction.

    Sessions covered leadership and self-advocacy, legal and policy frameworks, advocacy in conflict settings, digital communication, dignified storytelling and systems change. Members selected five collective priorities:

    - recognition of refugee women as leaders;
    - access to menstrual and maternal health products and services;
    - protection and psychosocial support;
    - harmonisation of refugee documentation;
    - stronger legal protections for refugee women.

    The inclusion of women and girls with disabilities was emphasised throughout.
