1,000 VOICES for the FUTURE is a virtual leadership campaign comprised of Empower Peace Women2Women Alumni, W2W-America 2009 Applicants and their friends.

1,000 VOICES for the FUTURE marked the launch of a global movement of young women who care about the status of women and girls worldwide and are working to make change possible.

1,000 VOICES for the FUTURE was broadcast live from the Columbia University Middle East Research Center in Amman, Jordan on Monday June 29th, at 10:30 AM (EST) and 5:30 PM (Jordan Time). The free program was streamed live over the Internet to thousands viewing on their computers around the world.

For 90 minutes, prominent figures from around the world lead a live "virtual town meeting" on the status of women and girls worldwide, the role that women and men play in advancing gender equality, and ways that we can make a difference both locally and globally. The viewing audience was able to instant message their questions to the speakers, creating a completely interactive experience.

1,000 VOICES for the FUTURE provided a unique opportunity for young women everywhere to learn from, and interact with, outstanding role models and to be inspired to bring about positive change in the world in which they live.
