Les Z'aperos des entrepreneuses, le pont entre les femmes de la diaspora et du Bénin

24 Heures au Bénin - mar, 21/10/2025 - 14:46

Cotonou, la capitale économique du Bénin accueille dès le vendredi 24 octobre 2025, les Z'aperos des entrepreneuses, un creuset d'échanges et de partage d'expériences entre les entrepreneures culturelles de la diaspora et celles vivant au pays. La Promotrice, Chrystelle FAGBOHOUN, l'Ambassadrice de l'Association la Power Woman family International, Léonide GAUTHE, Carole da SILVA, entrepreneure culturelle, et le Directeur général de l'Agence de Développement des Arts et de la Culture (ADAC), William CODJO, ont annoncé l'évènement lors d'une rencontre avec la presse ce lundi 20 octobre 2025.

« Power Woman ici et ailleurs : Célébrer les femmes de la diaspora et de l'Afrique », c'est la thématique au cœur des Z'aperos des entrepreneuses qui aura lieu à Cotonou, du 24 au 25 octobre 2025. L'évènement sera l'occasion pour les entrepreneures culturelles, les experts de la promotion du genre et les acteurs institutionnels, de mener une réflexion stratégique sur la valorisation, le financement et le rayonnement des initiatives portées par les femmes africaines et de la diaspora.

Trois activités phares vont marquer l'édition 2025. Il s'agit selon Chrystelle FAGBOHOUN, du Cotonou Afro Business Expo qui va regrouper les femmes entrepreneures de la diaspora et celles du Bénin ; occasion pour elles de présenter leurs produits et services. Dans la soirée, les femmes méritantes seront célébrées au cours de la soirée de gala. Le lendemain matin, samedi, un club business est prévu au Novotel pour permettre aux femmes entrepreneures de faire du réseautage et d'organiser des rencontres Be to Be afin de favoriser le brassage souhaité avec la diaspora et l'Afrique, pour des collaborations futures, a expliqué la promotrice.

William CODJO, directeur général de l'ADAC a expliqué les trois raisons principales qui motivent le soutien de l'agence qu'il dirige à l'évènement. Les Z'aperos des entrepreneuses s'inscrivent, selon lui, dans l'une des missions de l'ADAC, celle qui consiste à promouvoir l'économie dans le secteur des arts et de la culture, et faire en sorte que la culture béninoise permette de produire non seulement ses acteurs, mais également des revenus. Il s'agira de mettre en valeur le travail de création des artistes, le porter sur le marché pour en faire des produits vendables sur un marché solvable. La 2e raison d'après les explications du Directeur général relève du fait que l'ADAC a pris l'initiative de susciter des vocations de femmes dans le domaine de l'entreprenariat culturel. Ce qui a conduit à l'élaboration d'un programme important avec la Belgique et visant à former des coachs qui vont accompagner les personnes qui désirent entreprendre dans le domaine des arts et de la culture. Etant donné que les Z'aperos des entrepreneuses s'appuient sur la diaspora, l'ADAC selon son directeur général, a besoin de cet « apport diasporique » pour appuyer des initiatives qui se prennent au niveau du pays.

L'idée de créer les Z'aperos des entrepreneuses est née de la participation de Chrystelle FAGBOHOUN, aux rencontres mensuelles organisées par Carole da SILVA pour le compte des femmes entrepreneuses de la diaspora de la France et de Montréal. Motivée par la détermination de ces femmes à revenir au pays, elle dit avoir pris l'initiative pour permettre aux femmes qui sont restées au pays, de profiter des expériences des femmes de la diaspora.

OSCE trains Turkmenistan’s IT students in responsible use of Artificial Intelligence

OSCE - mar, 21/10/2025 - 14:45
600187 OSCE Centre in Ashgabat

Some sixty IT students and faculty members learnt about potential challenges of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) during an OSCE-organized lecture session that took place on 23 October 2025 at the Turkmen Institute of Telecommunications and Informatics.

Otabek Rashidov, Programme Officer from the Action against Terrorism Unit of the OSCE Secretariat’s Transnational Threats Department, delivered the lecture to enhance the understanding of young IT professionals of potential risks and opportunities of new technologies and their benefits for academic studies.

“The topic of this session is the responsible use of AI, a subject that lies at the intersection of technological progress and ethical foresight,” said William Leaf, Head of Centre, OSCE Centre in Ashgabat.

“While AI has an incredible potential to innovate, create and find new technological solutions, it also brings significant responsibilities,” stressed Leaf.

“I am confident, this learning opportunity will become an important platform for sharing knowledge, challenging assumptions, and building the ethical frameworks that will guide AI development and its responsible use by young generation.”

During his presentation, Otabek Rashidov elaborated on the history of AI and ethical aspects of its use, sharing practical examples and stimulating lively discussions. Discussions  emphasized the importance of the responsible use of AI for professional and personal development, protection of core human rights and dignity, and creation of safe digital environment.

The presentation is part of continued co-operation with the Cyber Security Centre of Excellence of the Institute of Telecommunications and Informatics of Turkmenistan established in 2022 with the support of the OSCE Centre in Ashgabat.

OSCE trains Montenegrin police and judicial professionals on response to gender-based violence

OSCE - mar, 21/10/2025 - 14:36
600007

On 29 and 30 September, the OSCE’s Transnational Threats Department (TNTD) conducted a specialized training course on gender-based violence (GBV) for 30 police and judicial professionals in Podgorica, Montenegro.

Tailored to the specific needs of practitioners in the country, the training aimed to foster a shared understanding of trauma-informed and victim-centred approaches to addressing GBV. It also enhanced participants' knowledge of the national legal frameworks, while raising awareness of the profound and far-reaching impacts of GBV on victims, their families, communities and society as a whole.

By bringing together professionals from across the criminal justice sector, the training also sought to foster stronger inter-institutional co-operation in the investigation, prosecution and adjudication of GBV cases — a crucial element in ensuring a comprehensive and effective criminal justice response.

A highlight of the training was the presentation of Lullaby Goodbye, a theatre performance conceptualized by TNTD’s Strategic Police Matters Unit (SPMU) and based on the real-life experiences of a survivor of online GBV. The performance served as a powerful awareness-raising tool, illustrating the evolving nature of gender-based abuse. Real case examples provided practical insights, underscoring the importance of integrating survivor perspectives into professional practice.

Participants also deepened their understanding of victim-centred approaches in the context of recent national legal reforms, including the criminalization of sexual harassment. They enhanced their practical skills in evidence collection and explored the importance of risk-assessment tools and effective multi-sectoral co-ordination. Particular emphasis was placed on the critical role of first-line police supervisors in promoting GBV-sensitive practices among first responders.

The course was held by TNTD’s SPMU in co-operation with the OSCE Gender Issues Programme, the OSCE Mission to Montenegro and the Centre for Training in the Judiciary and State Prosecution of Montenegro.

The training was organized within the framework of the OSCE’s ongoing efforts to promote gender-responsive policing under the TNTD/SPMU regional project “Enhancing Criminal Justice Capacities for Combating Gender-based Violence in South-Eastern Europe”, with financial support from, Austria, Finland, France Germany, Italy and Norway.

Outlook for the meetings of EU leaders, 23 October 2025

Written by Annastiina Papunen and Astrid Worum with Diogo Vieira Ferreira.

Only three weeks after the informal European Council meeting in Copenhagen on 1 October 2025, EU leaders will reconvene to continue their discussions on defence as well as Ukraine. On defence, the leaders’ main focus will be on the new Roadmap on European Defence Readiness 2030 and on addressing immediate threats on the eastern flank. Regarding the war in Ukraine, they will continue their discussion on Russia’s frozen assets and on the 19th sanctions package against Russia. Another prominent topic at this meeting will be competitiveness, with special attention on simplification, the nexus of green transition and industrial renewal, as well as Europe’s digital sovereignty. Additional agenda points include the situation in the Middle East, housing and migration. Following the European Council meeting, EU leaders will convene for a Euro Summit focusing on the capital markets union, the international role of the euro and the digital euro initiative.

1.   General

As usual, the European Council will start with an address by the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola. In line with European Council President António Costa‘s new approach, the meeting is intended as a one-day event, but could extend to the next day if needed. Following parliamentary elections in Czechia, this meeting is expected to be the last one for Prime Minister Petr Fiala.

2.   European Council meeting Ukraine

In the context of intensified Russian drone and missile attacks on Ukraine, notably against civilian and energy infrastructure, the European Council is expected to reiterate its unwavering political, financial, military and humanitarian support for Ukraine. EU leaders may have an exchange of views with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who could brief them on his disappointing visit to the US as regards the supply of missiles, and try to gather support ahead of the announced meeting in Budapest between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

As indicated in Costa’s invitation letter, EU leaders will focus on financial support for Ukraine in the coming years and consider options for the use of up to €140 billion of Russia’s frozen assets for interest-free ‘reparation loans’ to Ukraine. While this plan is backed by a majority of EU Member States, some remain sceptical about the use of foreign assets, notably Belgium, host of Euroclear, and Luxembourg, who want further guarantees from the European Commission and the G7 that all partners would share the financial risk in case of lawsuits. A political decision at this European Council meeting would enable legislation to be put forward with a view to possibly starting payments in 2026. The meeting could also discuss burden-sharing within the G7 on a separate €45 billion loan scheme.

Determined to increase pressure on Russia, EU leaders will also need to find an agreement on the 19th sanctions package against Russia, which Slovakia continues to oppose; Austria has lifted its veto. The new package targets oil revenues, gas, banks, crypto-currencies and shadow fleets, with the EU and US aligning on measures to halt Russian oil purchases.

The European Council is also likely to discuss both i) ways of addressing Ukraine’s most pressing defence needs, notably air defence and drone systems, and ii) post-war security guarantees, to which the EU intends to contribute. In that context, it may welcome the ongoing revisions of the mandates of EUAM (EU civilian advisory mission in Ukraine) and EUMAM (European Union Military Assistance Mission Ukraine) to include cyber-defence and ‘strengthening Ukraine’s combat power by investing €2 billion in drones’. In addition, the European Council is likely to call on Russia and Belarus to ensure the safe return of forcefully deported Ukrainian children.

Finally, EU leaders could reiterate their support for Ukraine’s EU accession path and commend the progress achieved, with three clusters ready to be opened.

Middle East

Following the agreement reached on the initial phase of the peace plan between the Israelis and Palestinians proposed by President Trump and signed at the Sharm El-Sheikh Summit for Peace, EU leaders are likely to welcome the immediate release of the hostages held by Hamas and call for unimpeded humanitarian access to Gaza. President Costa, who attended the summit, commended the success of the peace plan and stressed that the EU ‘is fully committed to actively engage with all parties involved in the implementation of this Peace Plan’. He also noted that the EU ‘will expand our humanitarian assistance’ and ‘contribute to Gaza’s stabilisation and reconstruction’. In addition, EU leaders may call for de-escalation in the West Bank, notably in East Jerusalem, and an end to settler violence and to the expansion of illegal settlements. Finally, EU leaders are likely to reiterate their support for a two-state solution, in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions.

European defence and security

In the context of an evolving threat landscape, and following intense discussions on defence at their 1 October meeting, EU leaders will review progress on EU defence readiness initiatives aimed at closing critical capability gaps by 2030. The ‘Roadmap on European Defence Readiness 2030′, presented on 16 October by the High Representative/Vice-President and the Commission at the request of EU leaders, will feed into the discussion. It translates the White Paper/ReArm Europe into operational milestones and outlines four European flagship projects (Eastern Flank Watch, European Drone Wall, European Air Shield, and European Defence Space Shield), while aiming to strengthen the EU’s military industrial complex and boosting joint procurement to an ambitious 40 % of defence purchases by 2027. The roadmap also calls on Member States to form Capability Coalitions in nine key areas through joint development and procurement. Even if generally well received, certain countries such as France, Germany and Sweden have insisted that Member States remain sovereign in their national defence – a point strongly underlined by the Commission in its proposal.

Following repeated violations of European airspace in recent weeks, which require a united response, as stressed by the European Parliament, EU leaders could underline the need to address the immediate threat to European security on the Eastern flank as a priority. They may discuss ways of reinforcing cooperation between Member States as well as efforts to develop anti-drone and air defence capabilities. While calling for the strengthening of the European Defence Agency in the capabilities development process, the European Council is also likely to review progress on financing and investment in the field of defence, notably regarding the €150 billion SAFE financial instrument and the European defence industry programme (EDIP), on which an agreement between the co-legislators has been reached. 

Governance and oversight of defence readiness projects may also be raised, with a possible annual reporting system by defence ministers to the European Council to keep track of progress.

Competitiveness

Competitiveness has been a frequent agenda point during this legislative period, appearing in all regular European Council meetings, except for that of December 2024. The April 2024 special meeting conclusions, the Letta report, the strategic agenda, the Draghi report, the November 2024 Budapest declaration and the March 2025 conclusions have all fed into the discussion. At their October meeting, EU leaders are expected to focus on three themes: i) simplification, ii) strategic debate on the climate objectives for 2040 and iii) Europe’s digital sovereignty.

Costa’s invitation letter stressed that the EU needed to ‘step up’ its efforts to deliver on simplification. The Budapest declaration had already called for a ‘simplification revolution’ to ensure ‘a clear, simple and smart regulatory framework for businesses and drastically reducing administrative, regulatory and reporting burdens, in particular for SMEs’. The work on the ‘Omnibus’ simplification packages is ongoing, but EU leaders may call for further efforts.

At the request of six Member States (France, Poland, Czechia, Hungary, Slovakia and Latvia), EU leaders will discuss the EU’s 2040 climate targets, which will determine the 2035 intermediate target to be submitted to the COP30 climate summit in Belém, Brazil. Currently, the Council has only agreed on a ‘declaration of intent’, setting a range for reductions of greenhouse gas emissions. Back in June, ahead of the presentation of the ‘European Climate Law’, EU leaders had discussed the issue – which was not on the agenda – at length, as certain Member States feared the impact of the transition to carbon neutrality on EU competitiveness and industry. Thus, EU leaders are expected to approach the climate topic from a strong competitiveness perspective, calling for decarbonisation as a vector for industrial renewal, a notable change of approach.

The agenda point on Europe’s digital sovereignty is expected to repeat many points that have been discussed in previous meetings, including the importance of advancing digital transformation, strengthening sovereignty and basing digital policies and solutions on EU values and interests. Interestingly, EU leaders may also mention EU regulatory autonomy in digital issues, which has been brought up recently in connection with US trade negotiations.

Housing

EU house prices have increased by 60.5 % and rents by 28.8 % on average from 2010 to 2025. This rise has generated financial difficulties for many EU citizens, especially as prices of many everyday items and utilities have also increased over the same period. As mentioned in the Leaders’ Agenda, EU leaders are expected to discuss the situation and support (additional) measures at European level to help improve access to affordable and decent housing. The European Council may also request the Commission to swiftly publish the European Affordable Housing Plan, currently under preparation. The European Parliament has set up a special committee to look into the EU housing crisis.

Migration

EU leaders will review the implementation of their June 2025 conclusions on migration, many of which are currently being discussed by the co-legislators, notably the return of irregular migrants and the mutual recognition of return decisions. As has been the usual format in recent European Council meetings, the discussions will be informed by a letter from the European Commission President. The elephant in the room is the migration pact which was adopted in 2024. Some EU leaders call for rapid implementation of the migration pact (e.g. Luxembourg Prime Minister Luc Frieden), while others, such as Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, have stated that they will not implement the pact, even claiming that they had got an exemption.

Although the number of irregular migrants has fallen by 20 % in 2025, in October 2025 nine Member States (Austria, Denmark, France, Italy, Germany, Poland, Slovenia, Sweden and the Netherlands) were still carrying out long-term temporary internal border controls.

Other points Republic of Moldova

EU leaders will address the recent elections in Moldova, pledging their continued support for the country’s resilience and stability. They may reiterate Moldova’s accession path and acknowledge the significant progress achieved so far, inviting the Council and the Commission to take work forward, in line with the merit-based approach.

Pact for the Mediterranean

It is likely that EU leaders will welcome the new Pact for the Mediterranean, announced in the political guidelines 2024-2029 and published on 16 October 2025.

3.   Euro Summit

The second Euro Summit of the year (the first one was in March 2025) will take place in inclusive format (with non-euro-area countries attending) on the same day as the regular European Council meeting. As usual, the current economic situation will be discussed with Eurogroup President Paschal Donohoe and European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde. Ahead of the meeting, Donohoe sent Costa a letter outlining themes currently important for the euro area, such as the capital markets union, the international role of the euro and the digital euro initiative.

OSCE supports mentoring programme to advance women’s leadership in Ukraine’s National Police

OSCE - mar, 21/10/2025 - 13:33
600001 Communication and Media Relations Section

On 15 and16 October, the OSCE Secretariat’s Gender Issues Programme organized a two-day training session for 21 mentors of the first Mentoring programme for women police officers within the National Police of Ukraine.

The development of this Mentoring programme and the preparation of mentors form part of a joint initiative between the Department of Main Inspectorate and Human Rights Compliance of the National Police of Ukraine and the OSCE Gender Issues Programme, implemented through the WIN Project. This initiative aims to strengthen women's leadership in law enforcement.

Opening of the training, Vadym Filin, Deputy Head of the Department and Head of the Human Rights Compliance Unit, emphasized the importance of empowering women in policing.

“The National Police of Ukraine fully supports the development of women’s leadership. Women who combine professionalism, commitment, and a strong sense of duty play a crucial role in building a modern and resilient law enforcement system,” he stated.

The training marked the first stage of a nine-month pilot mentoring programme, set to begin in November 2025 across four regions of Ukraine. Twenty-one mentors will be paired with 21 mentees to promote women’s leadership, professional growth, and institutional resilience. Additional online sessions will provide ongoing support to mentors and mentees throughout the programme.

Project experts Marta Chumalo and Marta Vasylkevych guided participants through a comprehensive preparation process covering not only mentoring techniques but also self-regulation, psychological resilience, workplace discrimination prevention, and reflection on gender norms in a traditionally male-dominated environment.

Participants noted that the training increased their self-awareness and confidence, enabling them to guide their future mentees more effectively.

Through the WIN Project, the OSCE continues to support Ukraine's security institutions in promoting gender equality and inclusivity, in line with the implementation of Ukraine’s National Action Plan on UNSCR 1325 regarding Women, Peace, and Security.

OSCE helps women leaders in Ukraine’s State Emergency Service to build resilience through final leadership workshop

OSCE - mar, 21/10/2025 - 13:26
599995 Communication and Media Relations Section

On 13 and14 October 2025, 25 women leaders from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SESU) took part in the final module of the leadership workshop ‘’Leading Smarter - Not Harder’’ organized by the OSCE Gender Issues Programme through the WIN Project.

Launched in 2023, this initiative builds on previous collaboration with SESU to strengthen women’s leadership and resilience in Ukraine’s security and emergency response sector. The final session focused on preventing professional burnout, enhancing resilience amid prolonged conflict, and introducing modern leadership approaches, including elements of neuroleadership. Participants also explored ways to advance gender mainstreaming within SESU, developing a women’s network within the service, and maintaining a healthy work–life balance.

The WIN Project team designed a dynamic, interactive course aimed at equipping participants with practical leadership tools while creating a space for recovery, peer support, and mutual inspiration.

Many participants highlighted the tangible impact of the last year’s workshop on their professional growth, reporting career advancement and renewed strength and motivation to continue their demanding work.

“Your strategies for building self-confidence and focusing on personal commitments helped me feel empowered even in the darkest days,” one participant noted.

This initiative reflects the OSCE’s continued commitment to advancing gender equality, promoting women’s leadership in the security sector, and strengthening institutional resilience in challenging contexts.

« Le parrainage reste un droit individuel, mais encadré » (O. Alladatin)

24 Heures au Bénin - mar, 21/10/2025 - 13:00

Le député Orden Alladatin, président de la Commission des lois à l'Assemblée nationale, s'est exprimé dimanche 19 octobre 2025 sur Canal 3 dans l'émission Zone Franche au sujet de la polémique actuelle autour du parrainage dans le cadre de la présidentielle 2026.

Interrogé sur la nature du parrainage et sa compatibilité avec la liberté individuelle des élus, Orden Alladatin a rappelé l'esprit du texte révisé. « Le droit de parrainage est associé à chaque individu qui l'exerce dans le cadre de la loi. Tout le monde a cette compréhension. Si ce droit revenait au parti politique, le Code électoral l'aurait dit », a expliqué le président de la Commission des lois à l'Assemblée nationale, dimanche 19 octobre 2025 sur Zone Franche.

Le député de l'UP-R insiste sur la distinction fondamentale entre droit individuel et discipline de parti. Il admet que si un élu déroge à la ligne de son parti, ce dernier peut réagir selon ses propres règles internes, mais le droit fondamental reste intact. « C'est pour vous dire que pour la discipline du parti, si nous consentons à dire que nous allons dans le sens indiqué par le parti, c'est bon. Mais si une seule personne, comme ce que nous observons là, décide d'utiliser son droit de parrainage pas dans le sens de la discipline de son parti, il en a le droit républicain », a-t-il expliqué.

Encadrer sans étouffer

Revenant sur l'évolution récente du Code électoral, Alladatin explique que le texte a été amendé pour mettre fin aux situations ambiguës constatées lors des précédentes élections. « Par le passé, il était loisible à quelqu'un d'aller parrainer un candidat qui n'est pas de son bord. Et sur votre plateau ici, j'ai eu à dire qu'on ne saurait élire un grand électeur démocrate qui, au finish, vote pour un républicain président de la République ».

Pour le député membre de la mouvance présidentielle, le nouveau cadre légal encadre sans supprimer la liberté individuelle. « Le texte a été conçu pour que le parrainage demeure individuel mais encadré », a précisé Orden Alladatin.

Dans son explication, le président de la Commission des lois détaille les trois possibilités légales permettant à un élu de parrainer un candidat. Il faut que le candidat soit issu du même parti politique que le signataire du formulaire de parrainage ; ou désigné par son parti politique, même s'il n'en est pas membre ; ou encore un accord de gouvernance existe entre les partis. « De ce point de vue, dans cet espace aménagé, la liberté de chaque parrain demeure intégrale. Il faut le comprendre ainsi », a insisté Orden Alladatin.

Sans nommer explicitement son collègue Michel Sodjinou, Orden Alladatin semble répondre aux critiques venant du parti Les Démocrates, qui déplorent une instrumentalisation du parrainage à des fins politiques. Pour le président de la Commission des lois de l'Assemblée nationale, le débat mérite d'être posé dans sa complexité, mais en respectant le texte de loi et la séparation entre droits individuels et lignes partisanes.
