Articoli correlati a Peace Train 1995: From Helsinki to Beijing
"We are the Summit" Reagan and Gorbachev declared at the UN Summit meeting in Geneva, in 1985. That is what states' leaders think they must say, when they deal, without participation of women or people with darker skin, and make decisions affecting a great part of humanity.Two old men philosophized over their greatness, but 30,000 women convinced with real summit accomplishments. They assembled at the 4th World Conference on Women in 1995, to bring about equal rights for women. 233 women travelled with the Peace Train from Helsinki to Beijing. On this trip, thirty women were featured. They present their life, formulate their goals, show the ways to peace work, and describe how they will carry through women's interests, and hunt about, far from home, for friendly noises.

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:
Eighty years ago, the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) was founded in The Hague, as a protest against World War I. The participants of this first Congress went on a journey: they visited the governments of the waning nations, and a few neutral countries, to promote the end of the war, but met with deaf ears. Bypassing nationalism, they attempted to find ways to end the horror of the war.The League accomplished what others didn't even dare to dream: a women's peace train to Beijing, with stops in the capitals of countries particularly affected by war. The source, or rather wellspring idea, came from one of the women interviewed in this book: Barbara Lochbilher, the international Secretary of the League, let us in on the secret that a woman, even without the support of wealth, can fulfill her dreams.This is the story of some of the participants.
