Series VII. Pittsburgh/Beijing and Beyond, 1985-2000
|
Scope and Content Notes: These records relate to Peace Links’ attendance at the United Nation’s Fourth World Conference on Women held in Beijing, China from September 4-15, 1995. A concurrent unofficial Nongovernmental Organization (NGO) Forum, held from August 30 to September 8, 1995, paralleled the themes of the UN conference and included workshops, presentations, and plenary sessions by international participants. Members of the Pittsburgh/Beijing and Beyond ’95 group participated in both the UN Conference on Women and the NGO Forum. Some of the Peace Links members traveled to the conference on a "Peace Train" that ran from Helsinki, Finland all the way to Beijing. Topics discussed at the conference included development, education, human rights, health and reproductive rights, and world peace. Despite difficulties, the conference was felt to have accomplished some important advances in the topics discussed.
This series contains papers pertaining to the preparation for and attendance of the conference and forum. Materials in the collection include a small number of United Nation reports, flyers, newspaper clippings, and brochures, relating to topics discussed at international conferences and the status of women and development in various countries. There are no internal business records, correspondence, or financial statements in this series.
