Resources
Here we provide links and documents that can serve as resources to community women taking action, community organizations and municipal decision makers. Local women’s organizations are an excellent resource, likewise national and international women’s organizations provide valuable tools and information.
When materials are in PDF format, you will need Adobe’s free Acrobat Reader software to read it. If you don’t already have it, you can download the software at the Adobe Web site.
