Women’s Forum Underlines Power of Networking
by Reem Aljarbou, Arab News
VIENNA, 24 March 2007 — The Diplomatic Arab Women’s Forum, an NGO based in Vienna, Austria, held its first two-day symposium entitled “A Glimpse at Women in the Arab World: Achievements and Aspirations” that ended yesterday.
The symposium was held under the auspices of Princess Lolwah Al-Faisal. The symposium began with a statement from the president of the forum, May Al-Jaser, who also read Princess Lolwah’s speech on her behalf.
“Women around the world are facing daunting challenges in different professions,” said Princess Lolwah in her speech. “Arab women have gained tremendously from their efforts of self-examination that has intensified and found themselves in new roles of leadership in all walks of life”.
The symposium was followed by a speech by Ursula Plassnick, Austrian minister for European and international affairs.
“We must move beyond stereotypes,” she said, stressing the importance of cooperation and collaborations. “I believe in the transforming power of networking. Networking is a tool that can increase awareness among women and men and ultimately improve women’s involvement and participation in all spheres of social, economic and political life.”
