We are asking each woman to talk bout the role of the U.S. / NATO and as they experience their imperialist role in her country. How and what kind of militarization do they experience in their country, by whom and by what? (10 minutes each)
Then any conversation they want to have on the podium, questions or comment (another total 15 minutes).
Then open questions/ comments from people on the webinar. (total 30 min).
I’m in favor of a meeting, every speaker and participant should be able to speak and use the camera, speaking time 3 min. each).
Then each woman gets to give her final thoughts (at the end, 5 min. each).
Program should be 90 minutes.
