Assessing women's legal and human rights

Abstract

This report was prepared for the Sixth African Regional Conference on Women held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from 22 to 26 November 1999. The report assesses the impact of the activities that Governments and United Nations agencies undertook to meet their commitments under the African and Beijing platforms for action in the previous five years. The report also includes emerging issues that participants raised during the discussions of the working group on women’s legal and human rights organized during the conference.
