A WOMEN’S WORLD CONGRESS will be held in conjunction with the WOMEN’S WORLD
AWARDS on March 4 and 5, 2009 at the City Hall of Vienna, presided by Vienna’s
Deputy Mayor Renate Brauner.
The congress intends on raising the public
awareness of the particular problems women in various cultures face as well
as point out the various possibilities of improving their position in the
economic system and society as a whole. The central theme of the WOMEN’S WORLD CONGRESS underscores the fact that
gender equality has still not been attained, even though over the course
of the past decades many important advances and improvements have been achieved.
The WOMEN’S WORLD CONGRESS wants to raise the awareness of the particular
problems women face and understands itself as a constantly growing resource
supporting organizations, companies, universities, schools, political parties
and associations in promoting and implementing gender equality at all levels.
By launching an exchange-network for social, economic, political and cultural
bodies, gender issues can be addressed more adequately and specifically.
At the congress renowned speakers from business, politics, science, women’s
rights organizations, the arts and the media will reflect the pressing issues
regarding women as well as their integration into the economic system, society
in general and the responsibilities this entails.
