Whereas recognition of the equality of women and men is an essential component of a peaceful society;
Whereas the inherent capabilities and the true potential of women are not fully realized;
Whereas the welfare and prosperity of future generations are inevitably dependent upon the well-being and full progress of women in the local and global scenes;
We, WOMEN ON THE MOVE Network, agree to take vital and meaningful steps towards the emergence of a peaceful society through action-oriented programs of community service and awareness-raising which will help improve the status of women around the world and, most urgently, in our own communities.
