International Cooperation Year 1965 has been designated as In tern atio n al Cooperation Y ear by th e U. N. It was P rim e M inis te r N eh ru ’s suggestion th a t one year should be devoted to em phasizing th e im portance of in tern atio n al cooperation and peaceful relations in th e world. All non-governm ental organiza tions a t th e UN w hich are ac tive in scientific, social, econo mic, and cu ltu ral w ork have been requested to p articip ate active ly in th e observance. In tern atio n al w om en’s organi zations are know n fo r th e ir p ain stak in g w ork on behalf of m ore harm onious cooperation am ong th e nations of th e world. A t a recent session of th e S tatu s of W omen Com mission w hich m et in T eheran various common goals in in ternational coopera tion w ere presented before th e Commission. These included th e im provem ent of wom en’s econo mic, political, and social wel fare, and hum an rig h ts. M ajor in ternational wom en’s organizations, p articu larly those enjoying consultative sta tu s w ith th e UN have frequently been able to p resen t resolutions and suggestions directly before th e S ta tu s of W omen Com mis sion. Speaking on behalf of th e ir affiliates, th ey have been suc cessful in prom oting various de cisions w hich g reatly im proved w om en’s lot in various countries. The W FUW O, th ro u g h its m em ber organizations, has been able to b rin g forw ard m any ideas, which, while p articu larly close to our hearts, are not pecu liar to our women alone. These suggestions have been included in th e w orking program fo r th e In tern atio n al Cooperation Y ear by th e N ational Council of W om en of th e USA and th e W orld M ovem ent of M others (MMM) in P aris, France. These include: a) th e unification of fam ilies sepa ra te d by w ar or em igration, b) th e care of single, elderly em igre women, c) effo rts to absolve th e fam ilies of responsibility fo r th e political views of th e ir in dividual m em bers, d) research on th e effects of professional w ork on women w ith children, and e) research on th e w orking conditions of folk c ra ft artisan s in various countries. It is now our duty to become acquainted w ith th e w ork of th e U nited N ations, th e S ta tu s of W omen Commission, and th e N on-G overnm ental O rganiza tions. W e should striv e to en sure th a t th e goal of g re ater in tern atio n al cooperation does not become a vehicle fo r shal low m inds and em pty appeals. Finally, we m u st assum e re sponsibility fo r a b e tte r world by p artic ip a tin g in in ternational affa irs in every possible w ay to m ake certain th a t th e In te rn a tional Cooperation Y ear brings tru e, m utual understanding and a renew ed desire fo r peaceful relations in th e m odern world.

A t th e o u tset th e organiza tions had large m em berships (the UW A in G erm any a t one tim e had 10,000 m em b ers), b u t th e firs t wave of im m igrations decim ated th e m em bership ranks. Since th a t tim e m em bership has once again continued to grow w ith th e stabilization of conditions in post-w ar Europe. The tw o or ganizations have since em erged in th e fo refro n t in th e U krain ian wom en’s m ovem ent in E u rope.
