MESSAGE FROM THE CARICOM SECRETARY-GENERAL ON THE OCCASION OF INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY, 8 MARCH 1999

This year's commemoration of International Women's Day, 8th March 1999, is of very special significance. The World stands on the threshold of a new millennium and the next message will be the very first of the new century. The United Nations has already begun preparations for a Special Assembly on Women to be held in June 2000. There, the Caribbean will join the rest of the world in assessing the progress made in achieving greater gender equality for women in the period following the Fourth World Conference on Women held in Beijing in 1995.
