UN Conferences and International Meetings in which DAWN is involved, attending or tracking the processes. Follow the +10 anniversary conference debate Millennium Development Goals Although DAWN first made its mark by putting macroeconomic issues on the agenda of the women's movement at the NGO Forum in Nairobi for the 1985 UN Conference on Women, it judged that only be engaging in the official Conferences could feminists bring women's issues and concerns from the relative obscurity of the margins to the mainstream agenda, and secure commitments to policy changes needed to attain gender equality. In the 1990's, DAWN worked in the series of development conferences which began with UN Conference on Environment and Development (Rio), and included the International Conference on Population and Development (Cairo), the World Summit on Social Development (Copenhagen), and the Fourth World Conference on Women (Beijing). DAWN also participated in the UN Conference on Sustainable Development of Small Island Developing States (SIDS). These international fora were the first significant global occasions when "women's issues" made their way from the margins of 'women-only conferences' to the mainstream agenda. DAWN worked to clarify analysis of the main issues for feminists in these Conferences and, in collaboration with a core of other women's organisations and networks, to secure significant commitments to policy changes through platforms and programmes of action. Through sustained feminist advocacy in this series of UN development meetings, the Conferences built on one another. Gains had to be defended through the +5 reviews of these Conferences, between 1999 and 2000. DAWN has documented the extent to which a small minority of religious fundamentalists and their allies were able to hold the negotiations to ransom in their efforts to reverse the Cairo and Beijing agreements during the plus 5 reviews. DAWN has some concerns about the Millennium Development Goals, specifically the exclusion of the goal of women's sexual and reproductive rights. The Beijing Plan of Action should not be abandoned for the MDGs, but rather linked with the MDGs in terms of targets and indicators.   INTERNATIONAL MEETINGS World Summit on the Information Society 5th Asian and Pacific Population Conference, organised by ESCAP, Bangkok, 11-17 December 2002.
