Historical NoteReturn to Top
Under the auspices of the United Nations, 1975 was proclaimed "International Women's Year" (IWY). A world conference was held from June 23 to July 4 of that year in Mexico City. As a result of the conference, the United Nations declared a "Women's Decade," a ten-year period in which women in all parts of the world would work to gain all the rights of full citizenship. Following the Mexico conference, the United States congress established the National Commission for the Observance of International Women's Year. Women's conferences were to be held in every state before the first day of July 1977. Utah's first Coordinating Committee meeting was held in Salt Lake City in February 1977.
