The titles in this section are related to the UN Fourth World Conference on Women (Beijing, 1995). Some focus on the conference itself, while others are concerned with the monitoring of governments’’ commitment to implement the Beijing Platform for Action. Of particular interest is IWTC’’s new community action guide: Women! Policy! Action!
The voices of women activists and politicians are brought together in this collection to address the many complex issues involved in implementing the Beijing Platform for Action in Muslim societies. The views, concerns, demands and suggestions expressed by the contributors reflect the divergent experiences of women pioneers working in varied societies.
