Abstract

The NGO Forum on Women, held from 30 August to 8 September 1995, in Huiarou, China, drew nearly 30,000 participants, mostly women. This forum was related to, but independent of, the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, which was the largest meeting ever convened under UN auspices, with 17,000 persons registering. It was hardly possible to recognize Huiarou as a Chinese host town for the Forum, since it was overflowing with almost 30,000 women from all corners of the world. Yet, a Chinese host was always to be found when needed for translation, advice on transportation or where to eat, or to solve other problems of the participants and they were always typically friendly and polite.
