The Mexico 2006 Know How Declaration
We, the Know How community, (…) are dedicated to the creation and dissemination of information and new knowledge for the empowerment of women and the promotion of gender justice. Our goal is to advance gender justice and respect for every nation’s cultural diversity within the information society, and to promote access to information and communication as a fundamental women’s and human right.
DECLARATION
While we are facing increasing political intervention by churches and religious fundamentalisms are on the rise in Europe, leading to a dramatic undermining of women's rights and, in spite of the warnings from feminist organizations, such as the World March of Women, towards the organizing committee of the European Social Forum, some of the workshops gave the floor to organizations or speakers who support values contrary to the Porto Alegre Charter and to women's rights.

Statement of the Human Rights Caucus
In a matter of days, government delegates will be gathering in Hong Kong for the latest landmark event in the ongoing process of economic globalization--the Sixth Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization (WTO). We, members of civil society from developed and developing countries, concerned about the impact of this process on the realization of human rights and fundamental freedoms of people all over the world, take the opportunity of International Human Rights Day to remind our governments that their human rights obligations cannot be abandoned at the WTO door.
Whose Development is it Anyway?
WIDE is deeply concerned about the European Commission’s insistence on pushing for the establishment of trade rules that threaten the livelihoods of poor women and men in the South and that perpetuate gender inequality, unfair gender relations as well as structural inequalities between women and men and within and between countries and regions. The EU is aggressively pursuing new markets, while offering little in return to developing countries.

Session of the Commission on the Status of Women
The 10 year review of the Beijing Platform for Action (BPfA) at the 49th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is a critical opportunity to reaffirm the global women’s agenda for women’s human rights, gender equality and empowerment for women. The member states of the UN must use this opportunity to reaffirm their unequivocal commitment to the accelerated implementation of the entire Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and the Outcomes Document of the 23rd UN General Assembly Special Session (Beijing+5).

Declaration of the European Conference, Paris, 25th June, 2005
We, the participants of the European Conference in Paris of 24th and 25th June 2005, put forward for debate in all the associative, trade union and political networks in Europe, the propositions contained in the following declaration:
The European Feminist Initiative Acts in Priority for a NO to The Constitution and for a YES To Another Europe
The European Union might become the bearer of a true peace project, of a constructive alternative to the policy of precarity, unemployment, poverty and an alternative to the policy of militarization and war which generate violence and insecurity. Violence restricts the field of possibilities, non-violence broadens it. Neoliberalism and common security policy, in close relationship with NATO and without reference to UN bring economic and defence choices which will act as reciprocal commitments between countries of the European union. If the new constitution becomes adopted, it will confirm the dominating male and neo-liberal power and will carved it “in marble” for several decades.
Montréal Principles on Women’s Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
The Montréal Principles were adopted at a meeting of experts held December 7 – 10, 2002 in Montréal, Canada. These principles are offered to guide the interpretation and implementation of the guarantees of non-discrimination and equal exercise and enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights, found, inter alia, in Articles 3 and 2(2) of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, so that women can enjoy these rights fully and equally.
