WILDD Women Defined W.I.L.D.D Women is an acronym of what we embody and advocate for
Wisdom - Inner & Indigenous We welcome wisdom traditions that honour human rights and environmental rights. Wisdom is the deep understanding and insight gained through life experience, reflection, listening, inner listening and learning. It guides us to make thoughtful, compassionate decisions that promote harmony and growth within ourselves and our communities.
Integrity -Cultivating Honesty Integrity is the steadfast adherence to honesty, moral principles, and ethical conduct. It forms the foundation of trust and respect, ensuring our actions align with our values and commitments. Our values are built around Agape (universal love), good intention, unconditional service and honesty.
Leadership -Supporting Current & Emerging We welcome leadership at all levels in society. Leadership involves inspiring and guiding others with vision, courage, and compassion. We aim to empower individuals to take action, fostering collaboration and positive change in pursuit of shared goals and a common humanity.
Dialogue - Learning to Communicate We believe in the power of dialogue. Dialogue is open, respectful communication that encourages understanding, empathy, and the exchange of ideas. It is essential for building bridges, resolving conflicts, and creating a more inclusive community.
Democracy -Promoting Understanding We believe in democracy - a system of governance that values the participation and voice of all people. It promotes fairness, equality, and collective decision-making, ensuring that everyone has a say in shaping their society.
Women - Empowering Women’s active participation is vital for creating equitable and inclusive communities. When women are empowered to take part in decision-making, leadership, and dialogue, societies become more resilient, just, and peaceful. Their diverse perspectives and experiences help address social inequalities, foster innovation, and ensure that policies and initiatives truly serve the needs of all. Promoting women’s participation is essential for building strong, democratic societies where everyone’s voice is heard and valued.
WILDD Women & The Arts The arts are a powerful and universal means of expression that can embody and promote wisdom, integrity, leadership, dialogue, and democracy. Through music, dance, visual arts, storytelling, and performance, women and communities can share their stories, values, and visions for peace. Artistic expression fosters empathy, understanding, and connection across cultures and backgrounds, helping to bridge divides and inspire collective healing. By harnessing the transformative power of the arts, we can create spaces for dialogue, celebrate diversity, and reinforce our commitment to peace, empowerment, and social change.
