Hinweis der Redaktion
- The Theme of last year’s conference was “The Global Era and women‘s leadership”, and is well reflected in our short activity report.
- The importance of living and promoting the dignity of the couple inclusively; as well as the need for skills, attitude and perspective within the relationship - to build a culture of peace around us! sets the tone of the conference. This year we are going to explore how through living our dignity in caring partnerships, by taking into account the necessity for understanding gender differences for mutually enhancing, cooperative relationships, strategizing how we can contribute to the process of creating a culture of peace and societal transformation. Excellent speakers and representatives of NGOs will be contributing from all over Europe. The programme offers plenty of time for individual exchange and discussions in working groups and panels. As important and challenging the content of this conference is; the history and culture of El Escorial will not come too short. http:// www.worldheritagesite.org/sites/elescorial.html The Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de el Escorial was built at the behest of King Philip II. It was meant as a dwelling for God on Earth, at a time when the Protestant Reformation was shaking the foundations of Catholic Europa. This unique building has come to symbolize the Counterreformation. Architects of this were Juan Bautista de Toledo and his successor Juan de Herrera. The construction works only lasted from 1563 to 1584.

- Professor Lan Young Moon Pak, WFWP International President, spoke on ‘Creating Her story’. 7 sessions were held by experts on the dignity of women, gender balance, the family, trafficking of persons and the media.
- The ‘Dresden Appeal’ Carolyn Handschin, WFWPI UN Deputy Director, and Lilly Gundacker with the international experts and participants concluded the conference. Dresden Appeal to Women of the World The talents, experience and leadership of women are vital attributes needed more than ever before to deal with various and pressing problems in our societies, especially in times of war and natural disasters when women bear additional burdens. This specialized local knowledge provides valuable input to governments and the UN in order to assess the real needs for sustainable development in line with upholding human rights standards. Solidarity and collaboration may be achieved by bringing together national and international NGO’s, civil society organizations and local authorities for the advocacy, capacity building, training and education towards a Culture of Peace. Therefore, we call on women all over the world: To engage in ongoing education, learning about their rights, responsibilities and the resources available to them so that they can effectively participate and influence change, making information more accessible to women in less fortunate circumstances. To seek and take advantage of assistance, expertise and resources provided by the United Nations as well as various other international and national institutions. To take advantage of the very powerful and crucial position held by women as mothers and educators promoting beauty within their families and communities to raise children as peacemakers. To build effective networks of mutual help and solidarity by establishing and maintaining local and regional steering committees whereby the efforts of women can be recognized, promoted and put to the benefit of their communities, governments and the United Nations. To encourage women’s active participation in decision making processes at all levels and promote a feminine perspective that reinforces their priorities To boldly monitor the role of the media, in portraying a dignified image of woman. To assert women’s dignity and self esteem as part of a fundamental human rights as women work together to build peaceful families, communities and contribute to a world of peace. To empower women in Africa with information, access to education, to stop FGM/Harmful traditional practices. To contribute , cooperate and work in partnership towards a world of peace. “ Only as women and men together in equality and partnership can we overcome the difficulties, silence and desperation and secure the understanding, political will, creative thinking and concrete activities which are necessary for global transition from a culture of violence to a Culture of Peace.” The UN Millennium Development Goal “Promoting gender equality and empowerment of women” is a key to solving many problems of the world as women contribute substantially to the development of humanity. For women, education is especially important because education furthers self-confidence. There is a simple logic: without women, no development is possible. Development is not possible without education. Dr. Uta Kruse
- An informative and insightful conference where the participants had time to learn and share, agreeing with the following: “Only as women and men together in equality and partnership can we overcome the difficulties, silence and desperation, and secure the understanding, political will, creative thinking and concrete activities which are necessary for global transition from a culture of violence to a Culture of Peace.
