Beijing, the Chinese mainland From October 13 to 14, the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women will bring together top decision-makers in Beijing. Ahead of the event, CGTN anchor Wang Mangmang sat down with Huang Xiaowei, vice-president and first member of the Secretariat of the All-China Women's Federation and vice chairperson of the National Working Committee on Children and Women of the State Council.
In their conversation, Huang reflected on the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, launched nearly three decades ago, and its role in accelerating gender equality worldwide. She highlighted China's progress in boosting female education rates, expanding leadership opportunities, and promoting women's all-round development through community-based and digital initiatives.
Looking ahead to the October summit, Huang underscored three key expectations: forging global partnerships, advancing policy dialogue on equal pay and social protection, and empowering young women to lead change. She called on attendees to translate commitments into concrete actions that address persistent gender gaps.
As the meeting approaches, Huang's insights offer a roadmap for dynamic collaboration and real-world impact, from grassroots programs to international frameworks. Her vision sets the stage for a two-day summit that promises fresh perspectives and measurable progress on women's causes.
