1996 WINGS #05-96 Mongella’s Swan Song: Parting Remarks by the Secretary-General of the UN 4th World Conference on Women - Free Audiobook

After the 4th World Conference on Women, Secretary-General Gertrude Mongella of Tanzania traveled to many local and national conferences where women made plans for implementing the Beijing Declaration & Plan of Action. Her speech in Kansas City November 11, 1995, was recorded for WINGS by KKFI-FM. There she declared her expectation of returning to her country and working at the grass roots, and she warned against leaving implementation of the Beijing document to still-unchanged male dominated institutions, including national governments and the U.N.
