GWI ATTENDED BEIJING+30 CIVIL SOCIETY FORUM ON 19 AND 20 OCTOBER

 

GWI participated in the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Beijing+30 Civil Society Forum, organised by NGO Committee on the Status of Women (NGO CSW) Geneva. Bringing together NGO CSW Geneva member organisations, member states, and other stakeholders, the consultation has offered a comprehensive review of the UNECE progress related to the 1995 Beijing Platform for Action (BPA) and its 12 Critical Areas of Concern. The Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action is the outcome document of the Fourth World Conference for Women which took place in Beijing in 1995. It remains the basic document that is referred to in order to assess achievements, gaps and challenges for women and girls domestically and globally.

GWI is honoured to have participated in this civil society forum, contributing to impactful discussions and collaborating with other organisations to ensure an intensification of action and a strengthened movement for equality for all.
