 On July 8 1999, 276 women came together for three days for the Pacific Sub-Regional Meeting of Non Government Organisations in preparation for Beijing plus Five, or Women 2000 - the special sitting of the United Nations General Assembly to evaluate the implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action (BPFA) to be held in New York in June 2000. The meeting, held at the Women's College, Sydney University, was convened by CAPOW! and ANCORW, with a management committee and sponsorship from a number of women's organisations.

The task of the meeting was to produce an evaluation of the implementation of BPFA in the Pacific sub region. The outcomes from the conference will form our input into the Regional Report which will go to New York in June 2000 and will form the basis of an NGO response to the questionnaire on the implementation of the BPFA, which has been distributed to all Governments by the United Nations.

The full report and outcomes are available on the web at http//www.nwjc.org.au/beijingplus5.htm
