Help Women Help Themselves
WELCOME, BIENVENUE, BENVENIDA
It is my pleasure and honour to welcome the visitors of our website!
ICW-CIF last triennial General Assembly allowed us to celebrate our 121st Anniversary.
Over the years ICW-CIF women from all 5 continents have relentlessly spared their time, expertise and financial support to the Organization and have committed themselves to sustain their efforts and dedication in the future.
Increased networking through the enhancement and sharing of experiences, friendships and solidarity are some of the core values we believe in and therefore allow us to outline new prospects for our Organization.
From time to time old organizations like ours have to face temporary organizational problems, tight financial situations, political tensions, but in fact there are no issues that cannot be solved through time and reflexion, patience, goodwill and energy.
The quest towards Equality, Justice and Peace are appallingly slow. Many challenges remain.
Progress is tangible in many countries in a variety of social issues.
Undoubtedly we will all find the strength and courage to defend our beliefs and ideals in the sense that a better world for women is possible.
Let’s always keep in mind that “Progress for Women is Progress for All”.
