Beijing+30: Where next for global gender equality?
The 4th World Conference on Women, in Beijing in 1995, achieved ambitious targets for gender equality and made girls visible for the first time. Hillary Clinton also gave the famous ‘women’s rights are human rights’ speech in Beijing. This year marks 30 years since that last world conference, and progress has stalled, so action for gender equality rights is vital.
This webinar heard from women who were in Beijing in 1995, and also explored how the anniversary can help speed up progress and hold governments to account.
