The Global Women’s Charter for Humanity in Bulgaria
From June
9th to 11th, 2005, the World March of Women and the Women’s Global
Charter for Humanity passed through Bulgaria.
Adopted on
December 10, 2004, in Kigali, Rwanda and accompanying the World Relay since
March 8th in Brazil, the Charter is moving from country to country. The main
goal of the Charter is to initiate debates and campaigns for the eradication of
poverty and the elimination of violence against women.
The Charter is moving
around together with a unique patch blanket, containing artistic quilts
prepared by women from each country participating to the March. The Charter and
the Global Quilt have been presented in Bulgaria to a special event, which
gathered women from NGOs, other civil society organizations and women running
for parliamentary elections.
The
Bulgarian quilt and Bulgarian version of the Charter have been prepared by GERT
– the coordinating organization for Bulgaria with the support of the newly
established Bulgarian Women’s Fund. The launching event was organized
by Gender Project for Bulgaria – one of the NGOs members to the World March.
The Charter, printed in Bulgarian was applauded by
many women and has been largely disseminated by women’s organizations,
participating to the March.
