9. Manifesto 2000 (six principles)
• Respect the life and dignity of each human being without discrimination or
prejudice;
• Practise active non-violence, rejecting violence in all its forms: physical,
sexual, psychological, economical and social, in particular towards the most
deprived and vulnerable such as children and adolescents;
• Share my time and material resources in a spirit of generosity to put an end to
exclusion, injustice and political and economic oppression;
• Defend freedom of expression and cultural diversity, giving preference always
to dialogue and listening without engaging in fanaticism, defamation and the
rejection of others;
• Promote consumer behaviour that is responsible and development practices
that respect all forms of life and preserve the balance of nature on the planet;
• Contribute to the development of my community, with the full participation of
women and respect for democratic principles, in order to create together new
forms of solidarity.
