The founder: Sends a Message to the World: “No Woman Should Ever Feel Alone. It Is Time to Unite Our Voices.”
Roma, Lazio Oct 21, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - A new permanent international body dedicated to women, their rights, dignity, culture, and social participation is launched by Fondazione Area Cultura ETS, Italy. An ambitious initiative aimed at transforming women's solidarity into a tangible force capable of transcending all borders.
Some ideas are born out of a desire to establish an organization. Others arise from something far deeper: the determination to make a difference, to give a voice to those who too often go unheard, and to build a future in which no woman should ever feel invisible.
It is from this vision that the World Women's Parliament (P.M.D. - Parlamento Mondiale delle Donne) was born: a new permanent international body established within Fondazione Area Cultura ETS, founded and chaired by Dr. Angelica Loredana Anton.
An ambitious initiative that looks beyond geographical, cultural, and social boundaries, seeking to bring together women of all backgrounds, ages, professions, and circumstances, united by a shared commitment to building a fairer, more compassionate, and more inclusive society.
A Parliament of women, with women, and for women.
Not a political parliament in the institutional sense, but a global community dedicated to participation, dialogue, and action, where individual experiences can become a shared source of strength and ideas can be transformed into meaningful initiatives.
"I Do Not Want Any Woman, Anywhere in the World, to Feel Forgotten."
The spirit behind this initiative is best expressed by its founder, Angelica Loredana Anton, President of Fondazione Area Cultura ETS, whose vision for the project is deeply rooted in humanity and compassion.
"I envisioned the World Women's Parliament with all those women in mind who face difficulties, responsibilities, sacrifices, and silent struggles every single day. Women who raise children, work, study, build businesses, care for others, face illness, loneliness, or violence, or simply search for the courage to begin again.
I think of women who have achieved extraordinary things, but also of those who have never been given the opportunity to show the world what they are capable of.
To each and every one of them, I want to say: you matter, your story matters, and your voice deserves to be heard.
I do not want a Parliament built merely around titles, positions, and ceremonies. I want a living community, capable of listening, understanding, supporting, and taking action. A place where no woman should ever feel inferior to another, because a person's worth is not measured by the position they hold, but by their dignity and humanity.
And I want to extend this message to men, families, institutions, and society as a whole: the advancement of women is not a victory over anyone; it is a victory for everyone."
From Culture to Politics, from Family to Peace: Embracing Every Dimension of Women's Lives
The World Women's Parliament has been established with a comprehensive vision of women's lives and their place in society.
While recognizing the fundamental importance of equal opportunities and the fight against gender-based violence, its mission extends far beyond these issues, embracing every dimension of women's lives.
From motherhood to freedom of choice, from education to healthcare, from financial independence to entrepreneurship, from scientific research to culture, from employment to political and social participation, and ultimately to international cooperation, the protection of human rights, and the promotion of peace.
Special attention will be devoted to women facing vulnerable circumstances: survivors of violence, single mothers, older women, women with disabilities, migrant women, and those affected by war, poverty, and discrimination.
At the same time, the Parliament aims to become a platform for recognizing and celebrating women's talent, intelligence, creativity, and leadership.
Because supporting women also means recognizing what they are capable of building, not merely the challenges they must overcome.
An International Network of Women, Expertise, and Solidarity
The initiative envisages a presidential governance structure led by its Founder and President, Angelica Loredana Anton, supported by a Presidential Council, an Assembly of Parliament Members, internal thematic Ministries, and the potential establishment of National Delegations.
Women appointed as Parliament Members will contribute their professional expertise, personal experiences, and perspectives, while Ministers appointed by the President will coordinate specific areas of social, cultural, professional, and humanitarian activity.
The objective is to progressively develop an international network capable of organizing conferences, meetings, awareness campaigns, solidarity projects, educational activities, and international cooperation initiatives.
Among the Parliament's future objectives is the development of a World Declaration of Women, intended to bring together proposals and recommendations addressing the major issues affecting women in contemporary society.
This is a project that seeks to give women a meaningful role, not merely as beneficiaries of initiatives, but as active participants in their conception, development, and implementation.
Angelica Loredana Anton's Appeal: "Let Us Not Wait for the World to Change. Let Us Help Change It."
Above all, the founder wishes to convey a message of unity.
"To the women of the world, I want to say something simple: we do not all have to be the same to walk together. We may have different stories, different cultures, and different ideas, yet we can come together through mutual respect, solidarity, and the shared desire for a better future.
We do not need to compete to prove who is worth more. We must learn to support one another, recognize each other's talents, extend a helping hand when someone falls, and celebrate when another woman succeeds in achieving her dreams.
I would like the World Women's Parliament to become a home for those who have never had a place where they truly felt they belonged.
To women who have suffered, I say: your past must not be allowed to determine your future.
To young women, I say: have the courage to study, to make choices, to make mistakes, to rise again, and to believe in your own abilities.
To successful women, I say: share your experience, because your example may become someone else's source of hope.
And to all women, without distinction, I extend an invitation: let us unite our strengths. Let us not wait for the world to change. Let us help change it.
On our own, we can achieve so much. Together, we can leave our mark on history."
A New Chapter for Fondazione Area Cultura ETS
With the establishment of the World Women's Parliament, Fondazione Area Cultura ETS further expands its commitment to promoting culture, human dignity, solidarity, and the recognition of individual potential.
The Parliament is established as a permanent internal body with an international outlook, its own identity, a Founding Manifesto, and a programme of activities focused on participation and cooperation.
The challenge ahead will be to transform this vision into a tangible presence, capable of building relationships, developing projects, and creating opportunities for women.
Because the deepest meaning of this initiative is captured in its motto:
"THE VOICE OF WOMEN. THE STRENGTH OF THE WORLD."
More than a slogan, it is a declaration of intent.
An invitation to recognize that every woman carries within her a story, an inherent worth, and the potential to bring about change.
And that no voice speaking of dignity, freedom, and the future should ever go unheard.

Caspar Fownes is “very happy” with the start of his season and is looking to keep the winners rolling in with the likes of Love Together, Perfect General and Forza Toro at Happy Valley on Wednesday night. The champion trainer secured his fifth title last campaign and has slotted home nine winners so far this season, sitting fifth in the championship standings which are headed by Pierre Ng Pang-chi on 12 winners.

Inigo Calderon has called on local football chiefs to join him in “trying to do my part” to grow the game in Hong Kong. The Spaniard’s easy-on-the-eye Kitchee team delivered “probably the most complete” performance of his 15-month reign to embarrass Lee Man 5-1 on Monday, leaving him to conclude that it was a good time to say his piece because “we won and I’m not making excuses”. Unhappy with kick-off times and routinely poor playing surfaces, head coach Calderon said a 6.30pm start had aided...
Gianni Infantino’s campaign for re-election as Fifa president is set to move this week to Japan and a meeting scheduled for Wednesday with the Asian Football Confederation. This comes after Infantino apologised last week in Zurich, Switzerland, to Fifa’s 37-member ruling council – which he chairs – for “mistakes” he made in assembling a now-scrapped US$4.2 billion sell-off plan for the World Cup. The council is the main decision-making body at Fifa with a global spread of officials. The planned...

Long-suffering Philadelphia 76ers fans haven’t celebrated an NBA title in 43 years, but with newly arrived LeBron James headlining a star-studded team, they are daring to dream. “We never had a team like this,” enthuses Kairee Harvey, a 32-year-old police officer and diehard LeBron supporter. “I still can’t believe it,” the resident of neighbouring New Jersey said of the arrival of James in July. “I feel like I’m in a dream a little bit.” Suddenly, Harvey said, “I think that this will be our...

David Eustace enjoyed a landmark day in his Hong Kong training career when Light Years Charm rattled home to win the Group Two Sha Tin Trophy (1,600m) on Monday as part of a brilliant treble for the in-form stable. It was a day to remember for the 35-year-old, who launched into second in the trainers’ premiership, leaping above Manfred Man Ka-leung by virtue of seconds, and he was certainly keen to savour the moment. “The team are doing a great job. I thought we had a nice team of horses for the...
