Database of women’s information services available throughout the world. Aim is to increase the visibility of women’s information services, and to facilitate access to gender-specific information. Target users are women and women’s organizations, policy makers, decision makers and general information services.
The services mapped include
- International, national and local women’s information sources
- women’s documentation and research centres connected to universities
- gender-specific information sections connected to governmental organizations
- resource centres in which women’s information is collected besides information on other subjects
- women’s magazines, radio or tv programmes, which function as a focal point for the distribution of women’s information in countries where the women’s movement is in its early stages (such as newly democratic countries or countries where war has destabilised development).
Services need not be available on the WWW.
