The correct answer is: C. Women<\/strong><\/p>\n

The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed the 1980s as the International Decade for Women: Equality, Development and Peace<\/strong>. The Decade was a time to focus on the advancement of women and girls, and to promote their full participation in all aspects of society.<\/p>\n

The Decade was launched at the Nairobi Conference on Women in 1985. The Conference adopted the Nairobi Forward-looking Strategies for the Advancement of Women, which set out a comprehensive agenda for the advancement of women in the 1990s and beyond.<\/p>\n

The Decade was a time of great progress for women. Many countries adopted new laws and policies to promote gender equality, and women made significant gains in education, employment, and political participation.<\/p>\n

However, the Decade also highlighted the many challenges that women continue to face, such as violence against women, poverty, and discrimination. The Decade helped to raise awareness of these challenges and to mobilize action to address them.<\/p>\n

The International Decade for Women was a landmark event in the history of the women’s movement. It helped to put women’s rights on the global agenda and to advance the cause of gender equality around the world.<\/p>\n
