We are women of the Anglican Communion gathered together under the auspices of the Anglican Observer at the United Nations and Women's Ministries of the Episcopal Church in the USA (ECUSA)
in order to promote an effective Anglican presence at the 2004 meeting of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (UNCSW)
and thereby focus the attention of Anglican women around the world on issues important to women and children, particularly those in the third world
and to further impact the fulfillment of the Millennium Goals, in particular #3, calling for the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women.
Archdeacon Taimalelagi Fagamalama Tuatagaloa-Matalavea, Anglican Observer at the United Nations
