Abu Dhabi: A final communique issued at the Arab Women's Organisation evaluated and analysed the different aspects of human security through the six sessions of the conference, along with issues that touch upon building social awareness to back women rights, adopting women liberation concepts in the positive cultural Islamic heritage and confronting policies that push women aside in society.

Opening a dialogue with the International Commission Human Security to attract attention to the Arab vision towards women's human security and including her in the international interactions of this concept.
Finding a research reference for women's human security in the Arab world and instituting clear indexes for measuring it.
Elevating awareness in International Human Law and spreading its culture and relation to women, while finding the suitable tools for application.
Connecting the Arab Women Organisation strategy and establishing its dimensions in well organised policies and programmes.
Devoting the Women Media Strategy towards establishing the concept of human security for women.
