Women Actress of Dialogue

The Joint Action “KĪMIYYA: Women Actress of Dialogue”, conceived and organized by the Fondazione Mediterraneo and 12 Anna Lindh Foundation National Networks adhere to it: Albania, Algeria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Spain, France, Italy, Malta, Mauretania, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Slovenia and Tunisia.
The action aims to gather and deepen the work done so far by formulating concrete recommendations and operational guidelines
Women are the main “promoters” of connections between civil societies: by supporting their training, education and access to new tools and modern digital technologies, it will be possible to facilitate the intercultural dialogue in the Euro-Med region, reduce migration and address the causes of conflict.
The name KĪMIYYA has been chosen because in the ancient languages of Mediterranean culture (Aramaic, Arab, Greek and other languages), it means “to embrace”, “melt”, “put together”, “meet”, “share” and “mix”.

The United States of the World with the Fondazione Mediterraneo and the women's peace network "Kimiyya" support the third "World March for Peace and Nonviolence" that will take place in 2024 to denounce the dangerous world situation with growing conflicts, increased arms expenditures while, at the same time, in vast areas of the planet many populations suffer due to lack of food and water.
The main objectives are:

  • Continue to create awareness that only through 'peace' and 'non-violence' will the human species open up its future.
  • To make visible the various positive actions that people, communities and peoples are developing in numerous places in the direction of the application of human rights, non-discrimination, cooperation, peaceful coexistence and non-aggression.
  • Giving voice to the new generations who want to take over and make their mark by installing the culture of non-violence in the collective imagination, in education, in politics, in society...

In the same way that ecological awareness has been installed in just a few years.
The central issues to be addressed are:

  • The prohibition of nuclear weapons. Proportional disarmament and the renunciation of states to use war to resolve conflicts or to appropriate resources. "We are determined to avoid wars for future generations".
  • The re-founding of the United Nations, including the addition to the Security Council of an Environmental Security Council and a Socio-Economic Security Council. "United Nations watching over all citizens of the planet".
  • The creation of conditions for a fully sustainable planet, taking into account the fact that this is a limited space that we absolutely must take care of. "Earth is everyone's home".
  • The integration of regions and areas with socio-economic systems in order to ensure well-being and resources for all, with the goal of eliminating world hunger in the next 10 years. "We want to eliminate hunger in human history".

The United States of the World says "No" to discrimination of any kind: gender, age, race, religion, economy, etc. "No human being above another". Nonviolence as a new culture and active nonviolence as a methodology of action. "Nonviolence is the force that transforms the world".

INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE ELIMINATION OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

The "UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD" with its autonomous sections "MEDITERRANEAN FOUNDATION" and "KIMIYYA" celebrate in various countries, as they do every year on 25 November, the "International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women" formalised by the United Nations in 1999.
"The date of 25 November," emphasises Secretary-General Michele Capasso, "was chosen to commemorate the life, activism and above all the courage of three sisters: Patria, Maria Teresa and Minerva Mirabal, also nicknamed 'mariposas', or butterflies, who fought for the freedom of their country: the Dominican Republic, which during the 1940s and 1950s was in the grip of General Rafael Trujilo's dictatorship. The Mirabal sisters decided to engage in political activism by denouncing the horrors and crimes of the dictatorship. But on 25 November 1960, the three 'mariposas' sisters were tortured and murdered by Trujillo's assassins. The outrage at their deaths raised a wave of horror both at home and abroad, drawing international attention to the Dominican regime and the 'machismo' culture that did not tolerate women occupying public and political space. It is in the memory of Patria, Maria Teresa and Minerva that every 25 November marks the beginning of a 16-day period dedicated to activism against gender-based violence, which ends on 10 December with International Human Rights Day”.
In this year, ravaged by wars and extreme events, the 'UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD' calls on everyone to 'pull together' to ensure respect for women's human dignity and, above all, to prevent the feminicides that infest all societies.

SILVIA LEVENSON VISITS THE PEACE MUSEUM AND SIGNS THE KIMIYYA POSTER

Silvia Levenson - an internationally renowned glass artist - visited the Museum with a view to the creation of a section dedicated to glass art, in which she promised to participate with one of her significant works.
On this occasion, she signed the "Kimiyya poster" for the defence of women.
In President Capasso's interview, she stated:
"I was born in Buenos Aires in 1957. I was part of a generation that fought to change a society that seemed terribly unjust. In 1976, when the military took power, I was nineteen years old and in August of that year my daughter Natalia was born. She was the same age as those young people whose biological identity was stolen by the military. With unprecedented cruelty, pregnant prisoners were murdered only after giving birth, while the babies were illegally given for adoption. What happened between 1976 and 1983 changed my life and influenced my artistic work. An important part of my work is to reveal or make visible what is normally hidden or cannot be seen, and I use glass to represent this metaphor. We have always used glass to preserve food and drink, I use glass to preserve the memory of people and objects for future generations."
