What the Participants are Saying...
"The impact
of this event will be far-reaching in Morocco and the Arab and Islamic worlds.
As a Moroccan woman and as a member of the present Moroccan government, I felt
delighted by the extent to which the Global Summit of Women allowed a variety of
cultures to open up to each other, regardless of cultural differences and
geographical borders."
- Najima Thaythay Rhozali, Secretary of State for Literacy and Informal
Education, Morocco
"I have attended many conferences
and forums over the years and few have kept my interest sparked from start to
finish as did this year's Global Summit of Women in Marrakech. I was truly
impressed by the talent, positions held, and capabilities of all the women
participating both as presenters and as attendees. I met some wonderful
people from across the globe -- what an experience and a privilege."
- Damayanti Vasudevan, United States
"The Global Summit of
Women 2003 provided an excellent opportunity for me to learn about national
women's machineries and to exchange ideas and information with committed
partners and dynamic businesswomen from around the world."
The Honorable Jean Augustine, Secretary of State (Multiculturalism and Status
of Women)
"I enjoyed this Summit very much.
It was a great opportunity to meet all these prominent women. The idea I
liked very much was the one-day workshop about empowerment of Arab women.
We really need that forum and it was great to exchange ideas between Arab
women."
- Zeinab Safar, Egypt
"The networking was
fabulous. Until the very last moment, we were still networking, and I
found a prospective supplier in Bangladesh, just a few minutes before boarding
the plane. I came back with many contacts and ideas. Before the closing of the
summit, we were already talking about the next one."
- Evnur Taran, Canada
