Asia Pacific Women's Conference on Peace and Security
VISIONS
FOR A NEW WORLD
8-10 September 2009 :
Philippine Normal University (PNU)
Manila, Philippines
Women are at the center of conflicts and wars, both overt and silent. They bear
the brunt of violence in different forms, whether in their personal lives or
from armed conflicts within their communities or among nations of the world.
Yet women have not been mere victims or casualties of war. Women have always
struggled and survived over experiences of violence. They continue to work for
peace and build secure communities. Women have been mostly invisible, however,
in peace negotiations and policy making in many countries.
It is time for women to take the lead and to declare their vision for a new
world where women and humanity can enjoy peace and security.
The Conference on Women, Peace and Security: VISIONS FOR A NEW WORLD will be
hosted by the Peace Women Partners-Asia Pacific in partnership with the Center
for Peace and Human Rights Education of the Philippine Normal University. It
aims to bring women of the world together to discuss critical issues and define
strategies for women's peace and security in Asia-Pacific.
Interested women are invited to submit abstracts for presentations relevant to
any of the themes below.
Themes
Impact of Wars and Militarization on Women
Threats to Women’s Bodily Integrity
