The Spanish Federation of Prolife Associations
(PROVIDA) calls paper and attendant submissions for the Prolife
World Congress , to be held in November 6, 7 and 8, in Madrid.
PROVIDA is one of the oldest and most active
prolife organizations in Europe. It is established in almost
all Spanish provinces and cities and there are thousands of
volunteers from all ages helping out in the care and catering
activities for pregnant women. PROVIDA has been decisive during
the last quarter of the century in bringing to life more than
20.000 children, who otherwise would have been aborted.
This Prolife World Congress is called precisely
in a moment of ripeness and when it is most necessary to give
a fresh drive to pro-life movements in Europe and the World.
It has been organized following the model of academic conferences
with a focus on scientific contents; nevertheless, there will
also be place for papers and panels that allow the interchanging
of experiences between prolife representatives worldwide. Among
the conference aims, there is the promotion of the celebration
of a common Day of Life at the same date for the whole world,
as well as the interchanging of experiences between prolife
groups coming from different countries and cultures.
The congress will be held at the Universidad
San Pablo in Madrid
