The concept of women in development
and the goal of improving development efforts by incorporating women quickly won
acceptance and was incorporated into policy statements by U.N. agencies and national
governments The United Nations International Women’s Year (IWY) in 1975 and the ensuing Decade legitimized women’s concerns among government leaders and brought together women from many countries and cultures. Three international conferences marked the Decade. 1975 - Mexico City 1980 - Copenhagen 1985 - Nairobi |
