3. World is one Rights can be rights only if and when fully implemented Strategies – women have to be in position of decision makers Tactics – women must cooperate and network Demands – policy makers should think about the people and listen to the people

4. Push and pull Institutional cooperation – multilevel Experts – argumentation NGO Different social groups Allies – all sorts of them Media – from news for the people towards news about people (and future)

5. Share and learn Learn the rules, use the rules, change the rules Local and regional level National parliaments Influential women Developing common sense Creating the matrix of indispensable conditions

6. Adjusting and Tuning Law makers Opinion makers Political party Education Old habits die hard point of view

7. Obstacles Stereotypes and prejudices (can not be done, never had been done, no money for implementation, later, this is not priority, nobody will take this seriously, security first, we can not provide, …) Suggestion: rephrase the question and say if not now, when? If we do not do it, than who will?

8. Single issue world What is on the agenda? Who decides? How to move forward, how to place really important issues on the top? Why there are people who simply do not care? (do they intend to leave the planet somehow?)

9. Thank you!
