Hide Profile

The Third United Nations World Conference on Women took place between 15 and 26 July 1985 in Nairobi, Kenya. The Forward-looking Strategies for the Advancement of Women was adopted by consensus. The conference marked the first time that lesbian rights were introduced in a UN official meeting and the turning-point for violence against women to emerge from being a hidden topic into one which needed to be addressed. There were 157 countries represented with around 1,400 official delegates.
