Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Decade_for_Women:
The United Nations Decade for Women was a period from 1975 to 1985 focused on the policies and issues that impact women, such as pay equity, gendered violence, land holding, and other human rights. It was adopted December 15, 1975, by the United Nations General Assembly by Resolution 31/136. The Decade formally consisted of three international meetings and conferences in Mexico City for "consciousness raising", Copenhagen for creating "networks", and Nairobi for "the solidarity of women world-wide" along with several regional meetings with specific UN agencies (UNESCO, WHO, ECLA, EEC) and nongovernmental organizations (YWCA, World Council of Churches, National Association of Women).
https://www.un.org/womenwatch/daw/public/W2000andBeyond.html:
Women2000 and Beyond is a publication series that takes up, in a concise and easily accessible manner, issues which have not been given adequate attention in global policy-making processes or addresses the gender perspectives of issues currently at the centre of global attention. It has been recognized by the Commission on the Status of Women as an important channel for discussing emerging issues in the follow-up to the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing (decision 41/101). Each issue of the series focuses on one particular topic, providing relevant information to enrich public understanding and discussion. The series began in 1992 under the title Women2000 to promote the goals of the Nairobi Forward-looking Strategies for the Advancement of Women. In 2002, the title for the series was changed to Women2000 and Beyond.
