The «Forum» was born of an idea of federalist-minded associations which, in 1995, were seeking allies in civil society to promote a genuine European democracy.

The FORUM encourages the active participation, through their associations, of women and men in Europe in the construction of a European Union founded on shared constitutional values of peace, democracy, respect for human dignity and equality between women and men, solidarity and mutual recognition of cultural diversity, in short of a Union prepared to face the challenges of the 21st century.
