International Women’s Tribune Centre
The International Women’s Tribune Centre (IWTC) is dedicated to achieving women’s full participation in shaping a development process that is just, peaceful and sustainable. IWTC was established in 1976 following the UN International Women’s Year World Conference in Mexico City. With a philosophical commitment to empowering people and building communities, IWTC provides communication, information, education, and organizing support services to women’s organizations and community groups working to improve the lives of women, particularly low income women in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, Eastern Europe, and Western Asia.
IWTC’s work is grounded on the premise that access to information and the ability to communicate are basic to the process of women’s empowerment, to women’s ability to re-define development paradigms, to women’s participation in the public policy arena and to the building of democratic societies. IWTC’s four major programme areas cover: Women Using Information Communication Technologies for Basic Needs; Using Global Policy for Transformative Action; Human Rights, Human Security, Women in the Peace-building Process; and Using Information and Knowledge-Sharing for Empowerment—Access and Management.
