INSTRAW Library

Welcome to the INSTRAW LIBRARY, a compilation of around 600 publications produced by the former UN International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women (UN-INSTRAW), which served as the leading UN institute devoted to research, training and knowledge management to achieve gender equality and women’s empowerment. INSTRAW, along with DAW, OSAGI and UNIFEM, came together in 2010 to establish the present UN Women.

Este comunicado de prensa trata sobre la publicación de dos diálogos  virtuales realizados por INSTRAW  en septiembre y en noviembre del 2008  en relación con la migración y el desarrollo con el enfoque de género.
