Canada and the Beijing Conference on Women

the long version

"In 1995, the Fourth World Conference on Women took place in Beijing. Attended by delegations from 189 countries, it was the largest UN conference ever convened. Canada was an active player throughout the preparatory meetings leading up to Beijing and at the conference itself. This book examines the process by which Canada's policies for the conference were formulated - a process that involved federal government officials from some twenty departments, provincial representatives, and NGOs from across Canada."--BOOK JACKET.
