Timeline
39th Session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (UNCSW), New York. WomenSport International (WSI) and International Working Group on Women and Sport (IWG) representatives attend and lobby to get women and sport and physical activity mentioned in the draft Platform for Acton ahead of the fourth UN Conference for Women (see 1995 Sep). These efforts were aided by the Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women in Sport (CAAWS) and Womensport Australia previously including sport and physical activity in their government’s UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (UNCEDAW) reports. Also, WSI presents a workshop titled ‘Key Issues and International Strategies in Women’s Physical Activity and Sport’ at the non-governmental organisation Forum on Women in New York.
