Abstract
The Women's Health Conference in South Africa in December 1994 aimed to identify women's health needs and translate them into policy proposals. The process was inclusive and bottom up and cut across barriers of race, class and ideology. Prior to the conference, policy groups developed draftproposals on major areas of women's health, while provincial networking got input from the grassroots. The conference gave women space to talk about their experiences and finalise the proposals. Work on implementation has now begun; some proposals are being used by a number of provinces and by the Ministries of Health and Welfare and the Reconstruction and Development Programme's Gender Commission. In light of the proposal on abortion, the current abortion law is being reviewed by a Parliamentary Select Committee.
