I am so proud to see these things happen. To see these kind of topics being discussed. It is very important for everyone to know that Women are coming together to find solutions to some of the atrocities happening now like War, Destruction of Earth and Natural Resources, Protecting children, ourselves and our families. I am very grateful for the work these women are doing and continue to do. President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia and President Tarja Halonen of Finland hosted the Colloquium.
