Dear friends,
Re: International Women's Tribune Centre Women's GlobalNet no. 144
The latest issue of the IWTC Women's GlobalNet, no. 144 focuses on women in
peace building and peace making activities worldwide. It deals with the
international women's campaign to have "Women and Peace Building"
re-instated once more at centre stage after it was lost from the Beijing
Platform for Action in 1995:
"PEACE was one of the three corner-stones on which International Women's
Year (1975) and The Decade for Women (1976-1985) were built, the other two
being Equality and Development. Yet PEACE did not quite make it into the
Beijing Platform for Action as one of the 12 Critical Areas of Concern.
Instead, we have Women and Armed Conflict, which has become the gathering
point for women peace activists in the years since Beijing.
However, we women would like to see PEACE centre-stage once more, and there
has been considerable planning and strategizing to make PEACE a core issue
at the forthcoming UN General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS) on Beijing
Plus Five (June 5-9, 2000)."
If anyone would like to have a copy of this latest issue of Women's
GlobalNet, please email me and I will forward it to you.
all the best,
Cathy Picone
