Do Your Part for Best Outcome
This is a time to be an advocate for a 5th United Nations World Conference on Women, which would be the most influential and far-reaching women’s conference ever held. If the decision to hold it were made this year, it could take place in three years, and be the first with widespread use of the Internet and other 21st century technologies. The three years leading up to it would be a time for consciousness-raising, networking, and creating circles for action, reflection, and support.
