Other strong women attending the conference, in solidarity with Iraqi women and children, drafted a "Call for Restitution to the Women of Iraq" which rejects the policies by which the United States brought war to Iraq and renounces war as a means of solving conflict between and within states. [...]
The resolution calls for all women to commit to an immediate phased withdrawal of US and coalition troops, deployment of a peacekeeping force, direct humanitarian partnership between American women and Iraqi women to rebuild and restore Iraq, support of refugees and orphans, creation of refugee service centers at the borders and inside Iraq, unconditional US asylum for Iraqi women and children and material and financial support to create safe houses in Iraq and elsewhere to provide services and sanctuary for the protection of Iraqi children

The resolution is not sponsored by the International conference but rather by individual women who attended the conference who believe women's voices and actions are needed to bring peace to Iraq. Several organizations including www.codepinkalert.org will have information on the international humanitarian assistance project for the people of Iraq coordinated by these women."
