With the publication “The legacy of INSTRAW in promoting the rights of women. A historical record of the Institute between 1976 and 2010”, the UN Women Training Centre hopes to help record the past history of UN Women and the worldwide struggle by women for their rights. Although it does not claim to be exhaustive it provides an essential starting point for a closer look at the achievements of institutions like INSTRAW in improving the status of women and girls. The publication is available in English and Spanish.
