JANUARY 10, 1975 NewCALIFORNIA. ■■B International Women'sYear 1975 by Lavon Gieselman The United Nations has proclaimed 1975 as International Women's Year. The three-fold theme of IWY is as follows: equality of the sexes,totalintegrationof womeninto the social and economic efforts of nations, and recogni- tion of women's contributions towards strengthening world peace. UN goalsare to promotetooliticalawareness of the plight of women They lace severe deprivationof basic opportunities. Thegrowth of women's potential will be seen as beneficial to the developmentof a country's potential.
