The Womens Major Group Role & Organisation
The Womens Major Group was
created at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1992, where
governments recognized Women as one of the nine important groups in society to
achieve sustainable development. Since 1992, the Womens Major Group has been
recognized by the United Nations in the UN processes on Sustainable Development
and since 1996 in the processes of the United Nations Environment Program.
The Womens Major Group takes
responsibility for facilitating womens civil society input into the policy
space provided by the United Nations (participation, speaking, submission of
proposals, access to documents). The WMG is self-organised and open to all
interested organisations working to promote human rights based sustainable
development with a focus on womens human rights, womens empowerment and
gender equality.
