Thursday, June 30, Vilnius - President Dalia Grybauskaitė thanked all of the participants from around the world who came to the Vilnius high-level conference "Women Enhancing Democracy: Best Practices" for their thoughts and ideas inspiring to work even harder for ensuring women full-fledged life.

The President underlined that such intense focus from the international community on the conference showed the great significance of the problems discussed. She pointed out that the stories told and the proposals made for enabling women to seek education, careers, self-protection from violence and discrimination had encouraged all to make even greater efforts and to better coordinate their activities.

"I am convinced that even in the digital age not a single of these projects would be effective if not rooted deep in the heart or implemented with love and commitment. There is no device to replace human activity and compassion," the President said.

According to Dalia Grybauskaitė, the good practices enhancing women's rights that will spread around the world from Vilnius, the new information heard and the new aspects noted at the conference will inspire active women to fresh endeavors and projects and will make them even more determined in actions towards improving the status of women worldwide.
