Women around the world continue to monitor their governments' efforts to fulfill their commitments to the Beijing Platform for Action. For Asia and the Pacific, women's organisations recently came together to prepare for this periodic review at the APNGO Forum on Beijing plus 15 last October 25, 2009, convened by Asia Pacific Women Watch.
The next step in the process for the region is the High-level Intergovernmental Meeting to Review Regional Implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action and Its Regional and Global Outcomes which will be held on 16-18 November 2009, in Bangkok, Thailand.
The meeting will be attended by representatives of governments and will be closely observed by organisations who have UN ECOSOC advisory status. APWW will be presenting a statement of the APNGO forum, and also participating in the various caucuses and plenaries to ensure that governments remain committed to the women's agenda.
Isis International will be reporting from this event by email through our various mailing lists, as well as reports and podcasts on the Isis website.
