Since December 2008 the ANNETTE KUHN FOUNDATION has
been an independent and legally recognized entity in the regional jurisdiction
of Cologne. Based on its  by-laws the foundation pursues exclusively
charitable purposes.
These include:
- To promote scholarship, research and education in
the field of women's history,
- To make visible the historical achievements of
women in family, society and the state across different cultures,
- To realize women's equality within a democratic
understanding of politics, law, private business, public administration, work
and family,
- To create a gender democratic awareness within
youth education and continuing adult education,
- To further highlight in scientifically appropriate
and dignified ways the significance of women in different cultures, and to
reduce gender-specific tensions and inequalities, in particular within
education,
- To contribute to communication and reconciliation
with other cultures, in particular Jewish culture, by focusing on the specific
influences and contributions of women throughout history.
Towards the pragmatic realization of the
foundation's goals we are working on the construction of a real, physical House
of Women's History. By means of seven historical rooms it will bring to life in
the present the visions and achievements of women throughout history. |
