WFWP Portugal - Celebration of InternationalWomen’s Day

The event brought together Portuguese-speaking speakers from seven countries—Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal, and São Tomé and Príncipe. Under the central theme, “The Art of Loving – How to Manifest It?”, speakers delivered insightful and impactful presentations, offering rich perspectives that fostered both learning and inspiration.

The conference also featured two new partner organisations: VCura, represented by Dr. Elisabete Monteiro, and Happy Dance Power System, represented by Dr. Paulo Roberto Santos.

The programme was structured into two panels, interspersed with a cultural poetic moment presented by the writer Paula OZ. Opening remarks were delivered by Sérgio Neto, while the closing address was given by Dr. Marta de Carvalho.

The event welcomed over 80 participants from four continents—Europe, Africa, Asia, and America—making it a truly global gathering. It concluded with a collective rendition of Top of the World by The Carpenters, performed by participants across continents, reinforcing a spirit of unity and shared celebration. Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive.

Special thanks are extended to Lia Vieira for her excellent moderation, to Carla Vieira for technical support, and to the translators Dr. Isabel Costa and Dr. Alma Gaina, whose dedication greatly contributed to the event’s success.

The planning and coordination of the conference—including programme development, speaker selection and invitations, and team organisation—were led by the President of Women’s Federation for World Peace Portugal, who expresses sincere gratitude to all contributors and participants.

This event also served as a tribute to the Co-founder, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, and as an expression of solidarity during a challenging time she is currently facing.

Women’s Federation for World Peace Portugal considers the objectives of the conference to have been successfully achieved.
