Check the list of UN Documents on Women's / Gender Issues

This section provides material prepared by women's NGOS and other Non-Government Organisations involved in the UN Summits and Conferences during the 1990s, and/or their follow-up processes, Commissions and other bodies.
Although these are separate processes, they are closely linked and overlapping.
It is important not to think in the "compartments" of the processes but look across the board. For example, women's groups have been involved in all the UN Summits and their follow-ups and developed important positions and background material.

NGOs, women's organisations, grassroots women's groups and many others have been  participating at the Summit and Conferences and the Commission meetings and parallel NGO Forums. They have presented reports, reports, articles, newsletter, and given statements at the meetings. You will find the documents here on the Toolkit web-site and/or links to web-sites providing them.
In most cases, these documents are not statements or reports of one singular NGO but have been prepared or signed off by groups of NGOs following a process of consultation. You will also find information about some of the bodies and procedures used to prepare common NGO statements - mostly from the women's caucuses and/or issue-based and regional caucuses.
