- Summary:
The International Tribunal on Crimes Against Women, an informal global conference dedicated to condemning crimes against women, convened in Brussels with representatives from 27 nations, including the United States, in attendance. Over the course of five days, the conference reached near-unanimous consensus on several key issues, including support for single mothers, elderly women, women political prisoners, and battered women. Additionally, it affirmed the right of women to sexual self-determination and resolved to establish an international feminist network. From the aftermath of World War II through the early 1970s, unwed pregnancy and childbirth in the United States and other Western societies were heavily stigmatized, leading many unwed mothers to choose adoption. However, by the mid-1970s, this trend began to shift as the stigma gradually diminished and more unwed mothers opted to raise their children themselves. This article reflects the evolving stance of the international community toward enhanced support for unwed mothers and the growing recognition of women's right to sexual self-determination.
