Women Stop War, Conference in Hague, April 27/29

100 years after over 1300 of WILPF’s founding women first came together in The Hague in protest of World War I, we still live in a world where women’s voices and experiences are excluded, bringing continued violence and war. We know now what we knew then, that only when we analyse conflict from a gender perspective, integrating disarmament, human rights, the environment, social justice, and the women, peace and security agenda holistically will we be able to eradicate the root causes of conflict.

In 2015, at our International Conference and by connecting, strengthening and celebrating the work of all women peacemakers across the world, WILPF will once again be as progressive in our security analysis and aim to establish new and radical approaches on how to stop and prevent wars and establish principles of permanent peace.

See you in The Hague!

Interpretation

We will offer simultaneous Spanish interpretation for all sessions which will take place in the big theater room. Professional interpreters will orally interpret these sessions.

There will be no simultaneous interpretation in sessions taking place in all the other rooms. We recommend our participants in need of interpretation to organise whisper interpretation. In such cases, we kindly ask to use the back of the rooms to not disturb others participants. In case of speakers not speaking English, we recommend all session organisers to have their speakers texts translated into English and hand out the translation to the participants during the session.
