Beijing Declaration

The Beijing Declaration, adopted in 1995 at the Fourth World Conference on Women, is a global commitment to promote gender equality and empower women. It emphasizes the importance of eliminating discrimination, violence, and inequalities faced by women in all areas of life—such as health, education, and employment. The declaration encourages governments, organizations, and communities to implement policies that support women's rights and fully realize their potential. It serves as a guiding framework to foster gender justice and ensure women’s active participation in social, economic, and political development worldwide.
