Women for Peace Conference

he second International Women for Peace Conference will be held in Dili, Timor Leste on 5-6th March 2009. The Theme will be “Women as creative agents for peace”.

This conference will be an opportunity for women from around the world to share their experiences about ways to move from conflict to peace, to find justice and solidarity, and to acknowledge and value traditional culture, while reducing its negative impact on society. By using drama, song, visual arts and storytelling during the conference, we hope to draw upon these powerful artistic tools to more fully explore these challenging issues.

The conference is supported by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
