The SIGI Subseries contains administrative information, conference packages, publicity materials, and correspondence with organizations and individual participants in public events organized or co-hosted by SIGI. Major SIGI conferences include: "Religion, Culture, and Women's Human Rights in the Muslim World" (1994), "Beijing and Beyond" (1996), and "Rights of Passage" (1997). The SIGI group also contains announcements for "Peace Café," a series of panels on women's roles in armed conflicts and peace-building. The conference "Eliminating Violence against Women in Muslim Societies," initially scheduled by SIGI for Sept. 1998, was cancelled and modified into the Expert Group Meeting held in Oct. 1998. The subseries is organized chronologically by year and month, then alphabetically by name of event.
