We resolve to strengthen our efforts to advocate, educate, cultivate, and care, thus implementing the slogan of the XXXIII Convention of the UNWLA: “Heritage and Strength: We Advocate, Cultivate, Educate and Care! ” We call upon our membership to widely commem - orate the following: • In 2024-2025 – the 80th anniversary of Our Life magazine; • In 2024 - the 140th anniversary of the establish - ment of the women's movement in Ukraine; • In 2025 - the 100th anniversary of the UNWLA; • In 2026: - the 35th anniversary of Ukraine’s Independence; - the 50th anniversary of the establishment of The Ukrainian Museum by the UNWLA; - the 25th anniversary of 911 (September 11, 2001); • In 2027: - the 95th anniversary of the Holodomor; - the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the UNWLA Scholarship-Sponsorship program.
