Gender equality and women's empowerment
ten years after Beijing - Where do we stand?

Share your views with representatives of civil society, governments, the private sector, the UN and many others!

The United Nations Commission on the Status of Women will undertake a review and appraisal of the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action adopted at the Fourth World Conference on Women (1995) and the Outcome of the twenty-third special session of the General Assembly (2000) during its fourty-ninth session from 28 February to 11 March 2005.

The CSW will focus on implementation at the national level, to identify achievements, gaps and challenges, as well as future actions needed to further implementation.

From October 2004 to January 2005, WomenWatch will be hosting a series of online discussions on the Platform's critical areas of concern and other important issues to provide input into the review and appraisal. The discussions will be facilitated and moderated by members of the Inter-Agency Network on Women and Gender Equality.

You can make a contribution to the review and appraisal through your participation in the online discussions, which will be summarized and submitted to the CSW in February 2005. The summaries will also be posted on WomenWatch.

TO PARTICIPATE, subscribe separately to each online discussion by choosing the discussion topic from the list and then clicking "Register for this discussion" button.
