Abstract

The article presents information about the congress to be held on globalizing gender justice. The right-wing cabal in Congress is attempting to prevent the U.S. delegation from taking part in the United Nation's Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, China, in professed horror at human rights violations in China. But what they're really scared about is the empowerment of women--that's the overall goal of the Platform for Action, with its subtheme of Action for Equality, Peace and Development, to be adopted by some 185 nations this September.
