It is 25 years since the Fourth World Conference on Women was held in Beijing, China. Popularly referred to as the Beijing Platform for Action, the conference set up a most visionary agenda for women and girls everywhere. This year the United Nations 64th Convention on Status of Women (CSW 64) will be reviewing the progress made in gender equality the world over under the theme “An Equal World is an Enabled World”.
