Peace, a core value during the Relay
In 2005, during the Relay of the Women's Global Charter for Humanity, women stressed the importance of leaving in peace. On October 17, the march ended with a naming ceremony of the Place de la Femme pour la Paix (Women’s Peace Square), in the centre of Ouagadougou. Women read a Peace Declaration.

Women in Black, keeper of the Women's Global Charter for Humanity
- At the end of the Relay, the March designated certain women, women’s groups or social movements as keepers of the Charter. For the value of “peace,” the March gave the Charter to the Women in Black network. Founded by Jewish and Palestinian women opposed to the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the militarization of the region, this movement now exists throughout the world. It is made up of women fighting against conflicts in the world and against the violence women are subjected to during those conflicts. In this audio File, a woman thanks the WMW for being keeper of the Charter (in MP3 and in French only)
