- Description
- This book covers the history of women at the United Nations up to the great progress for advancement and empowerment of women that was achieved in the last decade of the 20th century. Through the diplomacy and struggles of women over the decades, women’s aspirations and visions have been brought to the forefront of the international agenda and have resulted in Declarations, Covenants and Programmes for the advancement and empowerment of women, which go beyond existing legislation and policies in most of the UN member states.
