In partnership with Global Peace Education Network on the occasion of the International Women's Rights Day
Organized by Dr Guila Clara Kessous, UNESCO Artist for Peace, Ambassador for Peace of the Universal Circle of Ambassadors of Peace (Geneva), this online conference focuses on women's rights voices and their lack of resonance around the world in terms of rights, society or politics.
This series of interventions opened by Dr. Guila Clara Kessous was intended to be an expression of solidarity, in order to defend these women’s rights and to reaffirm the initiatives essential to their unconditional recognition.
“Women need to have access to the same rights as men, not as women, but as human beings. The recognition of those women’s rights will only be achieved together in a side-by-side fight, men and women united to finally build the society of tomorrow”

PROGRAM FEMINA VOX 2023
This conference focuses on women's rights voices and their lack of resonance around the world in terms of rights, society or politics. Far from being a univocal plea, this moment of exchange is a current reflection on the national and international situation in order to bring out concrete proposals for 52% of humanity can finally be heard equally in dignity. This year four sections have been made focusing on access to rights for women in rural areas, social justice and feminist diplomacy, art and engagement to finish by the notion dear the Nobel Prize recipient Dr. Mukwege’s heart “the positive masculinity”.
