Powering Up 30 Years On
In the Chinese mainland, a saying goes, "Women hold up half the sky." This year marks the 30th anniversary of the landmark Fourth World Conference on Women in 1995, which produced the historic Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.
To build on that legacy, Beijing, the capital of the Chinese mainland, hosted the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women, drawing leaders, ministers and UN officials from around the world. CGTN Digital reporter Wu You brings you inside the sessions to share insights and highlights focused on driving women's all-around development.
Charting the Next Steps
Delegates discussed key pillars for progress: economic empowerment, digital inclusion and sustainable development. Experts exchanged data-driven insights on how closing gender gaps in technology and entrepreneurship could unlock new growth opportunities globally.
A Call to Action
From panel debates on leadership pipelines to roundtables on climate resilience and health access, the meeting underscored a shared commitment to accelerate progress and ensure women everywhere can seize their power. As global citizens, the challenge now is to turn these commitments into concrete action.
Stay tuned and get involved—because when women thrive, the whole world rises.
