"WomanWatch" was founded in March 1997 to support implementation of the 1995 Beijing Platform for Action. It is a collaborative effort of the Division for the Advancement of Women (DAW), the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and United Nations International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women (INSTRAW). WomanWatch seeks to provide
up-to-date information about various United Nations activities relating to women,
information on the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms
of Discrimination Against Women (the Women's Convention), quick links to information about the work of the
Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), news and views, as
well as links to various e-mail discussion groups that focus on women's rights.
