We report about two WFWP conferences this year, the 15th Middle East Conference in Greece, and the 5th Annual Conference of WFWP Europe in Spain. Our report on activities around the world focuses on Japan. The reports on UN special events include the General Assembly’s Civil Society informal interactive hearing to prepare for the High Level Meeting on "Noncommunicable Disease Prevention", the 64th DPI/NGO Conference and a special UN Commemoration of the 10th Anniversary of 9/11.

Spring 2011. This report is a summary of some of the activities by WFWP overseas volunteers sent from Japan and local WFWP members, carried out in cooperation with various chapters of WFWP International, UN organizations and other NGOs. We hope that this will help you to better understand our endeavors to contribute to the attainment of the UN Millennium Development Goals.
WFWP is a women’s NGO, founded in 1992, with the motto, "Humankind is a family living in one global home, the Earth." Since 1994, WFWP has been dispatching volunteers to countries throughout the world. WFWP is committed to the achievement of freedom from poverty, as well as to the implementation of activities aimed at improving the financial wellbeing of women and families, based on local needs.

Following two very rich and substantive side events held by Women’s Federation for World Peace International during the recent Commission on the Status of Women in New York on issues related to women’s participation in higher education, some valuable insights and recommendations were identified and highlighted in this Statement.
