CONFERENCE BACKGROUND

The first four conferences were sponsored by the United Nations. The last was held in Beijing in 1995 and produced the Beijing Platform for Action, which if fully implemented on a global scale would make the world a safe place for women and children. This will be possible only when violence of all kindsfrom domestic to war, is no longer acceptable.

Now at the beginning of the 21st century with the state of the world as it is, it is a crucial time for women to come together to make a difference. This conference would be the first since the Internet made worldwide communication easy and would likely be the largest and most effective gathering of women ever held. It would accelerate reaching a tipping point.

Listen to Jean Shinoda Bolen at the 3rd International Women's Peace Conference discuss the importance of women's conferences including the planned Sophia Conference in 2010 and the need for a 5th Women's World Conference.
