The Women's Global Charter for Humanity arrived in Vancouver on May 1st 2005.

The Charter embodies in its text, the consensus struck among 6000 womens organizations in over 160 countries as to the future women seek and the oppression they reject and resist.

Based around the 5 core values of equality, freedom, solidarity, justice and peace, the Charter reflects above all the desire of thousands of women's groups throughout the world to work within a common framework of global feminist action and to collectively construct a more just world where all live well.

A scroll of that text written in English, Spanish and French was launched across the world by 30,000 women on March 8, 2005 from Sao Paolo, Brazil, and is being handed from woman's hand to woman's hand making its way around the world.
