Pauktuutit also works on the international scene.

In 1995, Pauktuutit attended the first ever UN conference on women in Beijing, China. This conference and the resolutions it adopted is now under strong assessment as 'ten years later' we find most of the items yet to be implemented.

Many countries, including Canada, have signed amnesties and agreements relating to violence against women and children. The Canadian Government has adopted the 1982 Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, ratified the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the International Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination, the Convention on the Elimination of Forms of Discrimination Against Women, as well as the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Canada voted in favour of the United Nations Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Canada has committed to implementing the Beijing Platform for Action and the subsequent Further Actions document.
