The United Nations Decade for Women, spanning from 1975 to 1985, centered on addressing policies and issues affecting women, including pay equity, gender-based violence, land ownership, and various human rights concerns. It was endorsed on December 15, 1975, by the United Nations General Assembly through Resolution 31/136.
The Decade officially comprised three global gatherings and conferences in Mexico City, focusing on "consciousness raising," Copenhagen, emphasizing the establishment of "networks," and Nairobi, fostering "the solidarity of women worldwide." Additionally, numerous regional meetings were conducted in collaboration with specific UN agencies (UNESCO, WHO, ECLA, EEC) and non-governmental organizations (YWCA, World Council of Churches, National Association of Women).
