This fonds contains textual records related to FAFIA's lobbying and knowledge-sharing efforts during the first five years of their existence. During this time, FAFIA sought to ensure the federal government's implementation of international agreements made at United Nations conferences, including the Third UN World Conference on Women in Nairobi, Kenya, the Fourth UN World Conference on Women in Beijing, China, and related preparatory and follow-up conferences. FAFIA was primarily involved in the Beijing +5 follow-up conference held in New York City in the year 2000, which assessed international implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action. In this fonds, researchers will find a wealth of information related to these world conferences, including proceedings reports, critiques, and participant evaluations, as well as FAFIA publications which detail Canada's failure to act in accordance with UN documents such as "The Nairobi Forward-looking Strategies for the Advancement of Women," "The Beijing Platform for Action," and the "Convention for the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women." Researchers will also find documents detailing other countries' adherence to these agreements.
