The International Women’s Contact The Hague (IWC), held their first monthly meeting for 2015 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel on January 12 2015. It was no ordinary monthly meeting as the event’s guest speaker was H.E. Dr Nora Stehouwer-van Iersel.
In her discourse, Dr Stehouwer developed the theme: The Netherlands as a host of International Organizations: Peace and Justice (also profit). The lecture went down well with the 120 plus women in attendance. Stehouwer explained the different roles of 34 international entities and how much these activities contribute to a better world.
It was an informative and interactive lecture with full participation from attendees. One remarked ‘I was not aware of all the activities taking place right here in The Hague. Today’s information has made me proud to be a citizen of The Hague’.
