BRIEFING KITS

These resource and advocacy kits are ideal for researchers, policy makers and others interested in an overview of how to develop rights-based gender programming and policies across a range of thematic areas. Some of the versions of these kits have been abbreviated or reformatted for the website - these will tell you if a more complete, printed version is available.

Please acknowledge UNIFEM as the source if you use any of this resource material.

You can browse the on-line versions, or download the Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat versions (you will need the Adobe Acrobat viewer to see and print the latter) which use colour, have attractive layouts, and are suitable for handouts and so on.

1998 CAMPAIGN ON ELIMINATION OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

UNIFEM devoted 1998, the 50th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to highlighting and promoting women's human rights and early in the year initiated a Global Campaign to eliminate violence against women. As part of the world-wide campaign, the East and South East Asia Regional Office promoted an effective and popular Asia-Pacific Campaign whose aim was to transform public attitudes, policies, practices and legislation to ensure a life free of violence for women and girls in the Asia-Pacific Region.

We have retained details of the Asia-Pacific Campaign to record the successful activities, and to preserve links to many organisations that are working in the VAW area.

THE BEIJING+5 REVIEW PROCESS

The Beijing+5 Review Process was an important lead-up to Women 2000. Our office worked with many partners to assist Asia Pacific women in this process, and the page will continue to be useful as a record of the many and varied activities that made the process and Women 2000 a success.
