Speeches and Resolution of the European Conference: More than 100 women with various disabilities founded on 4th of May 2007 in Berlin a European Network of Women with Disabilities. The founding members of 17 countries have been participants of the conference "A European Network of Women with Disabilities!" At the End of the conference, the participating women adopted a resolution including the aims of the network as well as demands for the realisation of an independent living.
At present, preparations for the creation of an organisational structure are in full swing. Further information will be continuously presented.
Networks, groups or organisations of women with disabilities which want to join the European network are very welcomed.
The Conference was sponsored by Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth
