We aspire to be a community which builds bridges and breaks down barriers between women from all corners of Brussels. This is a citizen’s initiative that also includes those that are not citizens: European and non European; immigrant, expatriate; Bruxelloises and non- Bruxelloises;

1. We will work to connect and amplify existing initiatives by and for women, and existing initiatives to promote citizens’ participation (including non-citizens…) explicitly amplifying the voices of women as a vector for positive energy and change for the city;

2. We will work towards our goal of radical inclusion. This means we will seek to ensure the inclusion of women who are resident in Brussels in all their diversity: cultural, linguistic; age; commune; socio-economic group; citizenship status, care responsibilities.

3. We choose to consciously celebrate the diversity of Brussels; identifying the barriers that exist to the full participation of all women in our work, and acting to eliminate the barriers to ensure all our processes are accessible to all women. In practice this will mean FOR EXAMPLE: ensuring translation and interpretation; ensuring dialogue, meetings and online are accessible; providing child care and an environment that is welcoming of children;

4. We will develop participatory methodologies both offline and online that support dialogue, listening, interaction and mutual understanding.
