WOMEN WATCH

"The UN Gateway on the Advancement and Empowerment of Women" is a jumping-off point for links to women's issues around the globe. Here you will find the route to conferences, statistics, new regional and global initiatives, and the biographies of those involved in United Nations leadership on women's issues and more. Be sure to check out the link to UN Radio's weekly women's program.

Women Watch's collection of links to other organizations gives the visitor an interesting tour of women's groups around the world. You can review sites such as the Association for Progressive Communications, the Network of East-West Women and more (with a notation of languages available at the pages) at

ADVANCING WOMEN -- INTERNATIONAL LINKS

Drill down through the Business Center at Advancing Women to International links for an intriguing collection of databases for marketers and others. Use the Hispanic Women link from the home page to access Hispanic Women's News and Issues, Hispanic Resources on the Web and Latin Newspapers. Advancing Women is a bit inconsistent in quality, with some links to articles and some to Web sites, but no differentiation before you strike off on the path.

WOMEN LEADERS ONLINE

From the tempting home page, choose International Links to see a brand new set of opportunities for research for those of you interested in international women's issues. In addition to links to government and non-government organizations (NGOs), you'll find a great calendar resource covering international events and links to women's groups around the globe. Go back to the home page to find links to women's news resources and more.

WOMEN WORLD LEADERS

This small page is a grocery list of women who are leading governments across the globe. There are a couple of hot links but for the most part, the site is a list of the women and their terms in office. There is also a section listing up-and-comers. Be one of the first to visit this page of leaders and then watch it, like its subject, grow.
