ABSTRACT: Information about the world conferences for and
about women held during the United Nations' Decade for
Women, 1975-1985, demonstrates that women have been
responsible for promoting change on local, national, and
international levels. The booklet begins with a chronology
of the events leading up to and including the decade and its
conferences. Overviews of the two conferences held to date-
the Mexico City (Mexico) conference of 1975 and the
Copenhagen (Denmark) conference of 1980--are presented. Some
documents from each conference are presented in a condensed
form. The purpose and functions of the third world
conference on women to be held in 1985 in Nairobi, Kenya,
are discussed. Organized into non-governmental associations
which interact with governments, women have promoted changes
aimed at advancing the status of women, contributing to
economic development, and promoting peace and international
understanding. (RM)
