This workshop, dedicated to the women of Italy's mountain areas, was surely one of the most popular the first day of the Mountain "States-General", held in Turin, Italy from September 27-29, 2001. "Donne in Salita", which saw around 70 participants including representatives of local administrations, is the first in a series of initiatives which will focus on mountain women organized and promoted by the Italian Committee for 2002 IYM. The objectives of this workshop were the same as those adopted by the international organizations involved in promoting the Global Mountain Women's Agenda during the International Year of Mountains (IYM)
