Conference on ICTs and Women (Vienna, 3 June 2002)
Dear colleagues, this is to inform you that the Vienna NGO Committee on the Status of Women will hold a one-day conference on Monday June 3, 2002 at the Vienna International Centre. We hope to welcome again NGO participants from Central and Eastern Europe. The purpose of this conference is to focus on and discuss the two main topics of the 2003 session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women, namely "Media, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and Women". We will structure the topics in two segments (see attached provisional agenda). The information presented by expert speakers will also assist participants to prepare their statements for the CSW meeting in February/March 2003. We hope that you personally or a representative of your organisation will be able to be present at this meeting. The conference will be held in English only. Our Committee is unfortunately unable to bear any costs for accommodation, travel, etc. In exceptional cases we can try to find a modest financial support.
Please let us know by fax to Elisabeth Frei, Fax no (361) 377 0010 or by e-mail: NGO@swi.salvationarmy.org if you are interested in participating. Further information will be mailed/posted to you only if we receive your reply by Monday, April 8, 2002.
With best wishes, Margaret Mattare m.p. Maria Jonas m.p. Vice-Chairperson Chairperson
