"It was great to hear what women from different countries are thinking, feeling, and doing.
I took liots of notes about the content of the Assembly. There was so much good information!"

"The event was quite well organized. The two emcees, Mrs. Angelika Selle (WFWP USA) and Mrs. Carloyn Hendschin, (WFWP Europe), were good and conducted themselves well, which is the basic requirement for the success of any event, The speakers were well chosen and spoke well. I felt that everyone, presenters and participants alike, wanted peace. The participants were all involved, well motivated men and women."

Hon. Ellen Sauerbrey, Former Asst Secretary of State for Population, Refugees, and Migration, USA

"During the first part, I enjoyed very much the presentations by the first ladies, especially the first lady of Palau, because she spoke from the heart, as she was talking about the lack of intimacy between mothers and children these days."
