A national and international campaign is under way to protest and change the site of Teheran, Iran as the location of the United Nations 1980 MID-DECADE FOR WOMEN CONFERENCE. Thousands of signatures have been collected by the Coalition of Grassroots Women, a U.S.-based international women's organization, and sent to the Secretary General of the United Nations, Kurt Waldheim, and to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, protesting the undermining of the Conference goals by this choice. It is believed that holding the conference in Iran will prevent the free participation of poor, working, rural and progressive women from around the world.
