WomenWatch

Paragraph 297 of the Beijing Platform for Action (PFA) called on governments to develop national strategies for implementing the PFA. This site provides access to electronic versions of national action plans that were submitted to the United Nations Division for the Advancement of Women (DAW). This site also provides a link to DAW summaries of the national action plans.

From September to December 1999, WomenWatch held the Beijing + 5 Global Forum, a series of Internet working groups that discussed ways for furthering women's equality in the 12 critical areas of concern of the Beijing Platform for Action (PFA). WomenWatch issued an open invitation to members of the public to share experiences and ideas along with government representatives, activists, academics, private sector representatives and others.
