OUR MISSION
Our mission is to empower women so feminine values will be effective in creating a fair and sustainable world.

We will live up to our mission by: v Providing a platform for women everywhere to share their vision of the kind of world they would like to live in and leave to their children. v Informing decision-makers, the media and public opinion of the changes that would need to be made for their vision to come true. v Creating strategic, scalable programs, utilizing womens ideas in order to build a world that lives up to their vision

Womens vision and their values can make the crucial difference. They need to be shared and taken into accountfor their own sake, for the sake of their children, and for the sake of every human being on this precious, but often unbalanced and now critically unsustainable planet.

HUMANITYS CHALLENGE
The world as it is presently constituted is not sustainable. Increasingly more of the seven billion humans who populate the Earth are pressed below the threshold of wellbeing, and even of mere survival; there is an ever-greater gap between the super-rich and the very poor, and social, economic, and gender inequality is fueling frustration and catalyzing revolt. At the same time the resources of the Earth, progressively exploited, are becoming scarce, and this heightens competition and incites drastic measures culminating in violence. The natural balances of the environment are increasingly disturbed, reducing the availability of clean air, clean water, and unpolluted soil, leading to aridity on the one hand, and the flooding of coastal regions and of low-lying islands on the other. Conditions on the planet are now threatening the life of nearly one third and in the next decade up to one half of the worlds population. Fundamental change has become necessary in the way the dominant elements in societybusiness and political leaders, and leaders in civil society treat the Earth and the humans who live on Earth.

WHO ARE WE
We are a group of mostly young people from different parts of the world who wish to make womens voices heard. Why? Because we firmly believe that we need womens voices, womens thinking, womens feelings to make this a better world for women, for men, for our children for all people.

ACTION PLAN

GLOBAL SURVEY
Working with sociologist Kingsley L. Dennis, clinical psychologist Jacqui Wilmshurst, International Storyteller Inno Sorsy and several humanists we have developed a concise questionnaire in order to create an indepth global Survey to find out what kind of world women would like to see coming about in the coming yearsand what kind of changes they believe would have to take place for such a world to be truly realized. Our questionnaire includes several open-ended questions where women can express their view and hopes in their own words. We have 600 expert and dedicated partners worldwide, for implementing the Survey. Our aim is to start sending out the questionnaire from the Spring of 2013, region by region. This will ensure that we reach out to every area on the six continents, and that women

have their voice heard, no matter what their cultural heritage, ethnic group, social and economic status, and educational background. An expert Committee will coordinate and carry out an in-depth analysis of the answers to our open-ended questions in order to make sure that we have a full and correct assessment of womens hopes and aspirations.
