Countries

In September 2010, heads of governments and diplomats will come together to report on the 10-year progress of the Millennium Development Goals. This will be closed-door meeting with a limited participation of non-governmental organisations, very few will represent the women’s movement although we comprise half of the world’s population.

This website is a campaign to capture and spotlight alternative information on progress/ lack of progress on the challenges on MDGs 3 & 5. This website compares and contrasts national numeric reporting with data, local evidence, local research, audio and film files to show what the MDGs mean to the people they are meant to serve. Women are watching their governments to see if they will deliver on their promises.
