| GTW Vision Statement
This Vision Statement was co-created by the original Steering
Committee of Gather the Women in 2002.
-----
Linked globally by our interactive website,
we invite women to demonstrate
their courage to risk leaving old conformities
by joining with millions of others throughout the world
to celebrate women's true worth,
to express shared concern for our human family,
and to create and support actions
that will enable humanity to live together
in a balanced, harmonious and peaceful world.

Gather the Women is evoking at a profound
level
an experience of our own woman's worth to the world.
As women we bring life forward.
We are in touch with the cycles of life
and we function in a context that is deeply relational.
We have the capacity to generate
creative solutions that benefit
all life on the planet.
Gather the Women is creating
a rich exchange of cultural values
to dissolve the ties that bind us to the illusion
that one segment of our human family can win
while another loses.
Together we women are contributing
to a new collective wisdom
and we are lending our strength
to that which we wish to embrace.
From this emerging balance is being born
a new dimension of our humanity. |
