International Women's Year (IWY) was the name given to 1975 by the United Nations. Since that year March 8 has been celebrated as International Women's Day,〔(International Women's Day )〕 and the United Nations Decade for Women, from 1976–1985, was also established.〔 ==International== The first World Conference on Women was held in Mexico City from June 19–2 July.〔 The 1975 conference and IWY were part of a larger United Nations program which developed over the Decade of Women (1976–85), and included the drafting and of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW),〔(U.N. Wants It to Be More Than a 'Ladies' Meeting' ) KATHLEEN TELTSCH, The New York Times, 10 May 1974.〕 agreed at the second conference in 1980 in Copenhagen. The 1985 third conference in Nairobi, Kenya not only closed the decade of women, but set a series of member state schedules for removal of legislated gender discrimination in national laws by the year 2000. The 1973-5 planning of the IWY, led by Assistant Secretary General for Social and Humanitarian Affairs Helvi Sipila was very much influenced by the rise of Second Wave Feminist movements throughout the developed world in the early 1970s. Delegates sought to deepen these advances in legal recognition of female equality and bring them to the developing world, and promote the role of women as an aid for economic development.〔(Dangers on the Road to Complete Emancipation ).
