A Closer Look: Your Window to the World

Dynamic in Brussels


September 17th, 2007 by Anindita Sengupta

If you’ve been wanting to visit Brussels, here’s a worthy excuse. Interestingly titled “Dynamic Cities Need Women”, this international forum in December will apparently draw over 700 participants from all over the world “to discuss best practices and innovative policies and their impact on gender development and equal access to services in urban areas in order to make cities and metropolises liveable for all.”

The core of the conference is a series of workshops on gender-related issues in different regions in the world as well as a host of topics like technology, health, basic education, urban safety and sustainable development in the context of gender.

According to the website:

The main objectives of this international Forum are to promote a gender-sensitive approach and to present and discuss the best practices to empower women as citizens and decision-makers.

The initiative is jointly spearheaded by the Government of the Brussels Capital Region and the Metropolis Women International Network and it will end with a declaration to take gender mainstreaming into account during future decision-making.

Incidentally, Belgium was elected as a member of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women this year in recognition of its commitment to the promotion and fulfillment of women’s rights.
