Η Κατερίνα Μονογυιού στην τηλεδιάσκεψη του Intisar Foundation

Η κυρία Μονογυιού, μεταξύ άλλων, δήλωσε: Sometimes the past is very relevant. During a time of war ,the playwright Aristophanes wrote a famous play called 'Lysistrata'. In it he exposes how Women suffer at war more than Men do .That is because not only it is worse for them as victims of war, but also because it is always up to women to see all their beloved ones (husbands ,children, fathers) suffer and cater for them after the war .It is women that first noticed the psychic traumas that wars cause ,and how hard they affect not only the direct victims but also everyone around them for a long time. In my home island of Mykonos a very well-known woman named Mando Mavrogenous contributed all her considerable wealth and efforts in order to care for orphan children and widowed women victims of war and participated herself (bearing the full rank of lieutenant general) in the war of Independence. She is a real example for me and her life stance exemplifies the many ways war affects women more than anyone. That is why women need to make extra efforts to guarantee that peace prevails. And who better to do it???

Μεγάλη έμφαση δόθηκε στην ψυχική υγεία των καταπιεσμένων ανθρώπων καθώς και συζητήθηκαν τρόποι για την εξάλειψη του στιγματισμού και των κοινωνικών διακρίσεων. Τέλος, ως στόχος τέθηκε η ενδυνάμωση των Γυναικών και η εδραίωση ενός περιβάλλοντος στον Αραβικό Κόσμο που θα συμβάλλει θετικά στην ψυχική υγεία και την ειρήνη μεταξύ των λαών.
