(September 2001)
Following the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001 in the US, and in order to bring women's perspectives into the discussion of this horrendous event and its consequences, women leaders from across the world joined in an electronic colloquium from September 24-27, 2001:
- to express their sympathy for the victims;
- to discuss the effect of the tragedy on the future of world peace, inter-communal justice, and human rights;
- to assess various possible military, economic, and developmental responses governments may undertake and their impact on civil society; and
- to explore ways of mobilizing individuals and NGOs to build global solidarity for the rule of law, tolerance, and peaceful resolution of conflicts across regions and faiths.
