March 7, 2022 from 7 to 9 pm
Under the high patronage of UNESCO
In partnership with Sorbonne University
Organized by
Dr. Guila Clara Kessous
Research Professor at Harvard University
UNESCO Artist for Peace, Ambassador for Peace of the Universal Circle of Ambassadors for Peace (Geneva).
This conference focuses on women's 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.
Today, more than ever, we must consider that we need to listen, not to respond, but to understand this female voice that has emerged from all these voices and that asks only to live, to love and to continue to help the world to prosper. The recognition of this voice will only be achieved together in a side-by-side fight, men and women united to finally build the society of tomorrow.
