With around a thousand people in attendance, made up of activists, representatives of national and international women's and human rights organizations and institutions, women's and feminist movements, the Seminar undoubtedly left the air of expectation for more and more debates on the subject. Elas was represented by Amalia Fischer, the Fund's General Coordinator, participating in the objective of seeking a global pact of non-tolerance to the perpetuation of violations of women's human rights.
