¡Bienvenidas a México!
Greeting from IFUW President
With excitement and pleasure I invite you to join in our 30th Triennial Conference in Mexico City from the 5th to 9th of August in 2010. What an opportunity to experience the depth of history, culture and colour of Mexico, and also to celebrate our triennium past and plan for the future ahead. Put the dates in your diary now.
Greeting from FEMU
The Mexican Federation (FEMU) is pleased that the 30th Triennial IFUW Conference will be celebrated in our country in 2010. This is a very significant year for us, during which we will commemorate our 200th year of independence, as well as the 100 year anniversary of Mexico's social revolution, the first of the 20th century. Two hundred years ago we fought for the liberty of a nation and one hundred years ago for its social rights. Mexico was the first country to include social rights in its constitution, the Constitution of 1917, which is in effect today.
