The Information Center of the Independent Women's Forum (ICIWF) seems to be more often updated and informative in local issues.
Program "Open Women Line" www.owl.ru is aimed at creation in Russia of the social-information Internet-resource for women for expansion of easy access for women to new information resources and development of information exchanges between women’s organizations as in Russia and as well on international level. Has links to a great number of women’s NG organizations in Russia. Unfortunately, the site updates not very often.
Among different recourses of the site two seemed to be most informative and useful. They are Regional Public Organization “East-West: Women’s Innovation Projects” and The Information Center of the Independent Women’s Forum (ICIWF).
The Information Center of the Independent Women’s Forum (ICIWF), which could be found on the site, either at http://owl.ru/eng/women/org001/index.htm seems to be more often updated and informative in local issues.
