Standing Women

This Mother’s Day women from around the world will stand together in silence for five minutes at exactly 1 p.m. They will stand in silence and think about how they can bring about a better world. Their mantra:

We are standing for the world’s children and grandchildren, and for the seven generations beyond them.

We dream of a world where all of our children have safe drinking water, clean air to breathe and enough food to eat.

A world where they have access to a basic education to develop their minds and healthcare to mature their growing bodies.

A world where they have a warm, safe and loving place to call home.

Mother’s Day – May 9, 2010, 1pm Local Time

Standing Women will stand together
across the globe every year on the
second Sunday in May at 1 p.m.
local time with those in their time zone.
Feel free to stand with a different time zone
if another hour is more convenient for you.
A world where they don’t live in fear of violence – in their home, their neighbourhood, in their school or in their world.

This is the world of which we dream.

This is the cause for which we stand.
