CODE OF CONDUCT FOR WEF
A Sacred Space of Sisterhood
We are a sisterhood network founded on love, care, and compassion. As a non-political, non-religious, and non-dogmatic space, we come together in solidarity, bringing our hearts and empathy to create a safe haven for every sister worldwide. This space allows us to find ourselves beyond the world’s noise, nourish our inner strength, and support one another, regardless of background, culture, language, race, color, or ethnicity.
We are the voice of sisterhood, envisioning the world as one big human family. This change begins with us, empowering ourselves and others to think and speak for ourselves and for one another. Our network is, was, and will always be about sisterhood.
The beautiful flowers and fruits that emerge from this tree of sisterhood will bring empowerment, love, and spirit to everyone. With love at our core, each of us can lead in the world with more empowerment, bringing out the best in ourselves and others.
We request all sisters and members to be the custodians of this sacred space of sisterhood and solidarity. While we may have our own political views and religious lives outside this platform, let’s keep this space a peaceful zone, free from judgment, anger, or conflict. There may be many challenges outside, but let’s maintain this haven for everyone to thrive.
Thank you all for your cooperation and contribution to making our networks a welcoming space for all.
Participation in WEF events worldwide and engagement with our community is governed by the following guidelines and Code of Conduct. Aligned with WEF values, this Code of Conduct is to be followed by all in letter and spirit.
1. Uphold WEF values of no negativity, positive spirit, non-egoism, respectful exchange, integrity, authenticity, gratitude, generosity, honesty, humility, compassion, non-violence, helpfulness, kindness, wisdom, sisterhood, inclusion and inspiration.
2. The overarching rule is of ALL positivity and No negativity. We are fostering a family of women worldwide as “Sisters Beyond Borders” to help one another as a supportive ecosystem toward building our enlightened exchange and economic energy; through our stronger bonds, endeavours and collaborations for “Business Beyond Borders”.
3. All expressions and interactions should be mutually respectful. Please avoid and discourage nastiness, gossip and slander. Exercise restraint, discernment and personal responsibility in all interactions at all times. Treat others as you would like them to treat you – with etiquette, sincerity and respect.
4. We are a constantly expanding community of people with diverse cultural contexts and backgrounds; so we urge all to approach new and unfamiliar contexts with a spirit of openness, learning and understanding.
5. Shun egoistic/adversarial/aggressive/judgemental attitudes that come in the way of authentic connection and constructive collaboration.
6. If you come across a situation of stress/disagreement/confrontation, kindly correct it as much as possible with generous gestures of care and compassion, striving toward amicable resolution.
7. We are non-religious, non-political and non-dogmatic. We are NOT a platform to advocate, criticise or insult any political party or leader, nor persuade for any religion or belief system.
8. We have a zero tolerance policy toward hate speech and proselytising.
9. We have a zero tolerance policy toward slander and calumny.
10. We have a zero tolerance policy toward sexual harassment.
11. We request you all to be watchful and vigilant toward vested interests that could undermine our space of integrity, trust and togetherness. It is incumbent on each of us to be custodians, exemplars and guardians of WEF values, and uphold prestige of the platform.
12. While we try to include ALL in our effort to foster a World Wide Web of Soul Sisters; however, in case of irreconcilable differences and/or violation of this Code of Conduct, the parties shall part ways peacefully.
