ABOUT THE STEERING COMMITTEE :
* Over the past fifteen years Taiwan has witnessed a great mobilization of
women in all areas of society. Despite a long history of political, cultural,
religious and socioeconomic constraints the role of women in the home and
society has changed considerably.
* The number of NGO bodies related to women's issue which now exist in Taiwan
of itself is am ample evidence of this change.
* Since the First East Asian Women's Forum in 1994 women from Taiwan have
actively participated and contributed to each gathering. The experience of
meeting and sharing with other women from the region was invaluable.
* Our participation did not end with the Forum meetings. After the 1995 EAWF
for example, the twelve actions were adopted and became valuable directives
for our own NGO's to pursue.
* Now we enter a new era with its many challenges. Poverty takes on a
different meaning as we grabble with matters such as gender equality and the
advancement of women in high-tech society and global village.
* The opportunity to host the Forth EAWF in Taiwan is a joy to us and we look
forward to leaning and sharing with one another. May each of us gain new
insights and discover what are the prospects and hopes in this New Center for
New Women to pursue and fulfill.
* Up to today, 35 groups participate in the steering committee.

INVITATION AND WELCOME
Dear Friends and Colleagues
It is both a privilege and a pleasure to announce that the 4th East Asian
Women(s Forum will be held in Taiwan 4-7 September 2000 at the Chien Ta
Overseas Activity Center, Taipei.
For the past several months the organizers in your host country, Taiwan,
continued to work enthusiastically and energetically despite the devastation
caused by the September 1999 earthquakes. Such turn of events made it an
even greater challenge to prepare for the Forum, and I sincerely thank all
members of the Steering Committee for their loyalty and commitment.
At the end of an era dominated by materialism and so-called progress we
cannot but fail to see the decline in human values and negative effects on
many of our societies. How easy it is to be discouraged and apathetic in a
broken world. However, the dawning of a New Century brings with it new
opportunities and new beginnings !! The fact that women care about the
situation in the respective countries of East Asia, and desire to convene a
fourth time is of itself a sign of hope. Our theme for this Forum New
Century - New Women we believe, will serve to encourage each participant and
enable us to think positively and act creatively.
Please note our provision for a Youth Forum. My personal hope is that each
country will encourage an even greater participation of youth delegates. In
addition, differently abled delegates are asked to alert the Steering
Committee how we can better prepare for your individual practical needs.
With joy, anticipation and renewed hope we await your arrival. We look
forward to your full and active participation in this important event. On
behalf of the 4th East Asia Women's Forum Steering Committee accept our warm
invitation and welcome to Taiwan in the year 2000.
Sincerely Yours
Ruth Kao
