International Women's Day

The Netherlands, 6 March 2004

AN IMAGE OF A VISION – BY AND FOR WOMEN

In the context of International Women’s day, Feminenza Netherlands organised an event with financial support of the municipality on Saturday 6 March 2004, with the title: ‘Female, Woman and then......?’

During the day a lecture and various workshops were presented and creative expression was given to the question: “What would you want to see for women in the world?”

It resulted in a painting, made by approximately 30 women, who gave their answer to this question through colour and form and by that created a graphic expression of their vision for women in the world. Within this Blue Diamond in the middle of the painting stands for freedom and space, which is needed for women to be able to fulfil their potential; the crown stands for women and natural leadership, the tulip for self respect and the five women, hand in hand, for sisterhood and cooperation, which is needed if we are to see a mutual future.
