Global Women’s Peace Network 21st Annual Women’s Leadership Conference

Women leading the Change:towards Peacebuilding, Justice and Social Transformation

Dear Friends

 

The Women’s Federation for World Peace, International (WFWPI) is an NGO working in over 120 nations to empower women and girls as peacebuilders and leaders through education, advocacy, partnership, reconciliation and humanitarian service- with an active presence at major UN Offices.

 

We are committed to advancing women's role in the 21st-century and engaging leadership that is principled, creative and effective in addressing challenges of our globalised community. 

 

Annual women’s leadership conferences have been held in prominent venues throughout Europe since 2001. These important events have given women leaders and young developing leaders the opportunity to share knowledge, tools and resources and strengthen solidarity. 

 

The forthcoming meeting is scheduled to be held in Warsaw from November 8-10. The city's motto, “Ever invincible”, reflects the resilience of its people who are committed to upholding values such as honesty, dignity, and strong family values. Poland, a country with a rich history and culture shaped by various influences, warmly invites all to "Fall in love with Warsaw."

 

In recent years, Poland has made significant progress in promoting women's rights and empowerment, both economically and politically. Leaders from across Europe will convene at this event to share and listen to ideas under the theme of "Women Leading the Change: Towards Peacebuilding, Justice, and Social Transformation."

 

We cordially invite you to participate with your knowledge, talents and experience in this important conference. 

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
