Abstract	This handbook constitutes an international inventory of successful strategies to increase the participation of women in this sector and thus promotes the principle of gender equity in higher education. The Beijing Platform of Action listed priority areas where further action was vital to ensure the personal empowerment of women so that they could make their full contribution to social development. Women in decision-making posts in all sectors was amongst these priorities. In higher education, this problem needs urgent attention as very few women are national policy-makers or institutional leaders. As this sector undergoes rapid and far-reaching change, the contribution of well-qualified women is not only logical but also a matter of social and professional justice. The handbook contains a wide range of experiences, including the results of UNESCO's Special Project on Women, Higher Education and Development. This focuses on seven UNESCO Chairs and university networks to support women graduates in fields related to socio-economic and cultural development.
