Women Uniting for Humanity
Women Uniting seeks to connect and coalesce women and girls across the globe to honor our universal call — the call to co-create a world that supports all people and all life. Our goal is to catalyze a series of ‘herstoric’ dialogues, salons and in-person retreats around a series of questions, challenges, issues and opportunities.
“If ever the world sees a time where women shall come together purely and simply for the benefit of humankind, it will be a power such as the world has never known.” ~Matthew Arnold

Eight countries were involved in the Rio+20 Global Dialogues. One Future One Planet developed a strong base in Mauritius, where most of the community development has since been coming from under the leadership of One Island Institute, the official project steward since December 2012. One Future One Planet initiatives currently take place in the following countries: Mauritius, Switzerland, France, and Sweden.
