Directory of Women’s
Organizations and Initiatives in
Poland
Center for the Advancement of Women
Foundation has been
gathering information concerning
women’s issues since the very
beginning of its activities. In
order to respond to the number of
everyday inquiries we have decided
to produce a Directory of
Women’s Organizations and
Initiatives in Poland, published
since 1993 in the Polish-English
Language version (available are
1993, 1995, 1997 and 2000 editions.
The 2005 edition is in preparation).
The Directory contains current
information on organizations,
institutions, companies, research
and study centers run by women
and/or working and promoting women
throughout Poland.
It is a source of information for
both, people looking for all kinds
of
assistance and for experts dealing
with women’s issues; students,
researchers writing their Master’s
and Doctoral thesis, journalists.
It promotes information about
different projects and facilitates
setting up contacts in search for
co-operation partners.
The information contained in this
publication comes directly
from the organizations which provide
a fairly concise description of
their approach to selected problems,
methodology, number of
people working for the organization
and the people to which
the organization addresses its
program, also current
accomplishments.
The Directory is broadly distributed
in all public administration offices
and institutions. It is also
available in 22 libraries which
receive its
sample copies ( in Katowice, Krakow,
Lublin, Poznan, Wroclaw,
Warsaw, to mention a few) and it is
distributed by the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs in Polish missions
all over the world. It is also send
to international organizations, such
as International Labor
Organization and all other
organizations co-operating with the
CAW
Foundation, state central and local
administration offices, Companies,
banks, Polish and foreign
organizations, participants of
Polish
and international conferences and of
women’s events, including media.
The development of the 2005
Directory of Women’s Organizations
and Initiatives has been made
possible due to the Canadian Embassy
which, considering the value of such
publication, for the second
time, ( foremly, the 1995 edition)
provided funding for its production
.
At present we are trying to receive
extra funding for the publication
of a completed , new version of the
Directory.
Following the introduction of the
22% VAT tax on printing services
the cost of production has gone up
not to say of the Directory’s more
sizeable volume (more than 60%
increase in the number
of organizations).
We therefore appeal to all companies
and institutions who are
interested in women’s issues to
extend support in funding printing
of
the highly required 5th edition of
the Directory of Women’s
Organizations and Initiatives in
Poland.
