ONLINE INFORMATION ABOUT BEIJING PLUS FIVE

As part of the NGO Global Communications Network project (WomenAction
2000), an outcome of meetings between national, regional and
international women's media networks during PrepCom I for Beijing Plus
Five in March 1999, we are making efforts to locate web-sites that carry
