The Bejing Declaration and Platform for Action

The Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, adopted in 1995 during the Fourth World Conference on Women, is a comprehensive policy agenda aimed at achieving gender equality and empowering women globally. It outlines specific areas for action, including education, health care, violence against women, and economic participation. Governments and organizations committed to the Platform are urged to improve women's rights and opportunities, with a focus on eliminating discrimination and promoting women’s full participation in society. The Declaration serves as a key framework for policymakers to advance women's rights and advocate for gender equality worldwide.
