História biográfica

Madeleine Gilchrist was born in Switzerland in 1942. She is married with two children and speaks French and English. She graduated as a Registered Nurse (RN) in 1964 in Switzerland. Madeleine moved to Toronto with her Canadian husband in 1968 where she worked as a part-time nurse at the Women’s College Hospital in downtown Toronto. In 1989, she obtained a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Women’s Studies from York University in Toronto.
Throughout her life, Madeleine has been a feminist and peace activist. She was part of many feminist committees and organizations, including Women for Political Action (WPA), National Action Committee on the Status of Women (NAC), Voice of Women (VOW), Women for Mutual Security (WMS), Réseau des femmes de l’Ontario, and Féminin-pluriel.
Between 1986 and 2002, Madeleine was heavily involved on the international scene. As a representative for VOW and WMS, she lobbied for peace and disarmament at the United Nation’s Disarmament Session in Geneva, at North-Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) headquarters in Brussels, at the Warsaw Pact Alliance meeting of foreign ministers in Sofia, Bulgaria, and at the United States’ Senate in Washington. She also lobbied at the UN in New York for a woman Secretary General.
Before the Gulf War, Madeleine was the communication link for the delegation of women in Baghdad. In 2000, she participated in a fact-finding mission in Baghdad with a group of international NGOs concerning the sanctions imposed by the United Nations, the United States, and England.
Madeleine was part of a mediation group meeting with women in areas of conflict, including Israel, Palestine, Greece, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Croatia, Serbia, and Cyprus. As part of VOW, Madeleine was actively involved in demonstrations, writing proposals, and giving talks related to the Balkan war. It culminated into her 1997 trip to Belgrade and Zagreb to meet women on both sides of the conflict. On a personal level, Madeleine corresponded with an Israeli female journalist imprisoned in Israel in 1988.
Between 1993 and March 1995, Madeleine was part of the Canadian-Beijing Facilitating Committee and she was the NGO representative on the official Canadian delegation for the UN’s Fourth Women Conference in Beijing (1995). Following the Conference, she was a consultant and observer at a dialogue between Greek and Turkish women which became an organization called WINPEACE. In 2000, Madeleine was involved as a mentor in Beijing+5 at the UN in New York during a session on the status of women.
Madeleine participated in many national and international conferences and workshops either as a coordinator, facilitator, or speaker, including at the First International Minoan Celebration of Partnership (FIMCOP) in Crete, Greece (1992), the Refugee & Displaced Women in Times of Conflict: International NGO Dialogue in Athens (1994), the International Court of Justice World Court Project in the Hague (1995), and the Situation of Women Fourth Canadian Conference on International Health in Ottawa (1997).
In 1995, Madeleine received the Muriel Duckworth Award from the Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women (CRIAW). In early 2000, she was awarded the Women’s College Hospital Award for Outstanding Nurse. She also received Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee medal in 2012.
Madeleine is now living in Toronto where she continues her activities as a mentor.

En 1989, elle a obtenu une licence en études féminines à l'université York de Toronto.
Tout au long de sa vie, Madeleine a été une militante féministe et pacifiste. Elle a fait partie de nombreux comités et organisations féministes, notamment Women for Political Action (WPA), National Action Committee on the Status of Women (NAC), Voice of Women (VOW), Women for Mutual Security (WMS), Réseau des femmes de l'Ontario et Féminin-pluriel.

Elle a également fait pression sur les Nations unies à New York pour obtenir la nomination d'une femme au poste de secrétaire général.
Avant la guerre du Golfe, Madeleine était le lien de communication de la délégation de femmes à Bagdad. En 2000, elle a participé à une mission d'enquête à Bagdad avec un groupe d'ONG internationales concernant les sanctions imposées par les Nations unies, les États-Unis et l'Angleterre.
Madeleine a fait partie d'un groupe de médiation qui a rencontré des femmes dans des zones de conflit, notamment en Israël, en Palestine, en Grèce, en Turquie, en Azerbaïdjan, en Croatie, en Serbie et à Chypre. Dans le cadre de VOW, Madeleine a participé activement à des manifestations, à la rédaction de propositions et à des conférences sur la guerre des Balkans. Le point culminant a été son voyage de 1997 à Belgrade et à Zagreb pour rencontrer des femmes des deux côtés du conflit. Sur le plan personnel, Madeleine a correspondu avec une journaliste israélienne emprisonnée en Israël en 1988.
Entre 1993 et mars 1995, Madeleine a fait partie du comité de facilitation Canada-Beijing et a été la représentante des ONG au sein de la délégation canadienne officielle pour la quatrième conférence des Nations unies sur les femmes à Beijing (1995). Après la conférence, elle a été consultante et observatrice d'un dialogue entre des femmes grecques et turques qui est devenu une organisation appelée WINPEACE.
