The Women’s National Coalition Conference starts

The inter-racial Women's National Coalition (WNC) Conference (25-27 February 1994), started in the World Trade Centre, Kempton Park. The conference focused primarily on the drafting of a Women's Charter and the future of the Women's National Coalition. The Women's Charter was adopted on the last day of the conference. The final Charter was prefaced with an 'Important Note' stating that 'while the Women's Charter has been adopted by the WNC ...the women's organisations which are part of the WNC retain their freedom to reserve their position on particular clauses with which they do not wish to associate themselves.'
