The Unfinished Story Of Women And The United Nations

Source: United Nations

02/03/2010

by Hilkka Pietilä

This book covers more than eighty-five years of history between women and inter-governmental organizations

Unrecorded by history and untold by the media, this book recalls the success story of women and the League of Nations and describes the unfolding history of women at the United Nations for the advancement and empowerment of women, especially in the 30 years since the First UN World Conference on Women in Mexico City in 1975, and up to the ten-year review and appraisal of the implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action in 2005.
