Enfoldment of women on an inner and external level through empowerment has been a cornerstone of the Beijing Declaration for 20 years. In observance of the Declaration, many of the MDGs tackled vital physical preconditions for women´s health and inclusion in society. For a sustainable transfiguration of the complex and deeply rooted obstacles the world today faces in an increasingly pressing way, it becomes more crucial than before to invigorate women on all levels. Respect for life, nature, well-being of the other and peace are expressions and natural consequences of an empowerment of innate female perspectives and forces. The speakers advance the subject focusing on the relevance of women for peace processes, the power of female virtues and empathic perception and provide best practices.
