We invite you to the online launch of a manifesto for democracy. Created at Caux largely by women suffering a war and those that have lived through wars, this manifesto presents ideas designed to foster inclusivity, accountability, and innovation, challenging the status quo to ensure that every voice is heard and valued.
Through engaging discussions and thought-provoking insights, we will explore how we can collectively shape a more equitable political landscape for future generations.
Join us as we embark on a journey to empower citizens, spark meaningful dialogue, and inspire transformative action in the democratic process.
The initiative was aimed at revitalizing democratic values and practices in our ever-evolving world. A global collective action is fundamental in reimagining the democracy we can believe in.
