What Rural Women REALLY Want
 Tell the Government What Rural Women REALLY Want for the Commission on the Status for Women 2012
The National Rural Women’s Coalition and the five fellow National Women’s Alliances* are working together over the next 4 months to identify the key issues for rural women as they relate to the United Nation's Commission on the Status of Women, and will then submit these issues to government. While there is no guarantee, it is hoped that the government will include these issues to take to CSW 2012 in New York, as part of their official CSW policies.
