the afternoon has been the headquarters of Granada UIMP which has hosted the public act of submission of this Declaration. The presentation was attended by the Coordinator of the National Plan for the Alliance of Civilizations, José M ª Luxan, the Vice-Chancellor UIMP, Mari Cruz Díaz Álvarez, the Executive Secretary of the Euro-Arab, Pilar Aranda, the writer Fanny Rubio and the directors of the Mediterranean Voices.
The third congress of Mediterranean Voices, held in Granada from 6 to 9 July 2009, at the headquarters of the Euro-Arab in conclusion issued the Declaration of Granada, whose aim is to show the international community, especially given the Alliance of Civilizations and other English and international, diversity and complexity of the gendered experience of women in the Mediterranean area, and its ability to construct points of encounter, dialogue and understanding.
This Bill proposes to governments that signed the Alliance of Civilizations, and particularly to the Area Mediterranean, the need for urgent action to implement and enforce the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), and urge them to implement equality policies that benefit women and therefore, society as a whole.
Over the course of Mediterranean Voices since its first meeting in Rome-2007, the second in Madrid-2008, and this third in Granada, a hundred women from different geographical and cultural points of the Mediterranean basin, representing various networks and institutions, or individually, we have come to the conclusion that, from feminist and progressive, we have an obligation to help change attitudes and inspire political action in line for the construction of the Mediterranean area as a zone of peace, progress and stability.
Therefore, the Mediterranean Voices participants in their preparation and guidance, under the auspices of the National Plan for the Alliance of Civilizations and the International University Menéndez Pelayo, as well as other partner agencies, we have agreed that first initiative, which we presented to the Prime Minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, with the request to submit it to the United Nations High Commissioner for the Alliance, and the governments of friendly countries. We are moved by the shared belief that equality and freedom for women, its visibility as an active agent in the political, economic and social, is a sine qua non for the consolidation of companies that guarantee democratic rights.
