Fifteen years after the Beijing World Conference on Women, IPS remains committed to in-depth reporting on progress achieved and challenges facing women and girls.

IPS has a long-standing editorial commitment to mainstreaming gender, which it has realised through training, editorial guidelines and targeted projects.

On the occasion of the 54th session of the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) in New York (1 – 12 March), an international team of journalists will provide special coverage from New York through the IPS TerraViva Beijing+15 website.

The IPS TerraViva Beijing +15 includes analyses of the latest developments from our team in New York, as well as gender stories from the global IPS Gender Wire.

Two printed editions of IPS TerraViva will be published and distributed in New York during the CSW (1 March and 8 March). These published editions will be available for download at the IPS TerraViva Beijing +15 webpage.

The TerraViva Beijing +15 is part of the IPS programme “Communicating for Change: Getting Voice, Visibility andImpact for Gender Equality“. The IPS cast of stories includes independent coverage financed through the Dutch Government’s MDG3 Fund: Investing in Equality, and through the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM).
