Hundreds of women facing eviction from hotels in Nairobi, Kenya, because of a conflict in scheduling two international women’s conferences were given an 11th-hour reprieve when the Kenya government agreed to permit them to double-up and triple-up in their accommodations. Government and hotel officials agreed to the compromise to prevent delegates to Forum 85, a privately organized meeting, from being forced to make way for delegates to a U.N. conference on women.
