Did you know that the International Council of Women is a member network of the Huariou Commission? The Huariou Commission develops strategic partnerships and linkages among grassroots women’s organizations, advancing their capacity to collectively influence political spaces on behalf of their communities and enhance their sustainable, resilient community development practices.
"Established in 1995 at the 4th World Conference on Women in Beijing, the Huairou Commission has been committed since its founding to grounding the global women's movement in grassroots community development issues and to ensuring that women are central in the human settlements field. Therefore, we also position grassroots women in important global processes beyond our Campaigns. Through the Huairou Commission, grassroots women have participated regularly in UN Habitat conferences and the UN Commission on the Status of Women since 1996."
