Abstract

The international women’s movement, from its beginning, influenced the founding principles and goals of the United Nations with regard to women’s rights. The “founding mothers” laid the groundwork for the struggle for gender equality that has since gained momentum throughout the world. Having played a crucial role in the formulation of the United Nations Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, early women activists were, because of their determination and vision, also responsible for the establishment of the Commission on the Status of Women within the United Nations. As in the past, the Executive Summary of the World Survey on the Role of Women in Development was submitted to the Economic and Social Council at its substantive session of 1999, through the Commission on the Status of Women.
