Who WE ARE

TIIMRAN is an indigenous not-for-profit organization registered by the Agency for Civil Societies Organizations in March 2020. TIMRAN emerged as a local nonpartisan civil society organization dedicated to advance women’s participation in politics and public decision making in Ethiopia regardless of their political opinion or party affiliation. It is founded by nine Ethiopian citizens who steadfastly united to narrow the gender parity in the country’s politics. TIMRAN is dedicated to carry its share in the nation’s efforts to end the current political environment that is characterized by political gridlock, marginalization, injustice, violence, and rapidly growing ethnic conflict.
