This session will analyze: 1) the current impact of those problems on women's health; 2) changes since the landmark International Conference on Population and Development held in Cairo in 1994 and the Fourth World Conference on Women held in Beijing in 1995; and 3) measures to ensure the effective implementation of the Cairo and Beijing agendas. A human rights perspective will be emphasized and used in developing an action plan for the future. | ||||
