May 29 - Women's health is an inter-generational continuum that begins at birth and carries into old age. Women and their families are deeply affected by the realities of globalization, by access to health and educational services driven by macro-economic policies, and by empowerment and rights issues driven by political forces.

The 2001 conference seeks to address local, regional and global determinants and dimensions that shape these health issues worldwide.
