Three decades after the groundbreaking Beijing Declaration put women's rights on the global stage, the fight for gender equality remains a marathon, not a sprint. 🏃♀️ As geopolitical tensions dominate headlines, UN expert Sarwat Adnan reminds us: "The road isn't straight, but every step matters." Here's why Gen Z can't afford to hit pause on progress.
🔍 What's Changed?
Since 1995, more girls attend school globally and women hold 27% of parliamentary seats (up from 11%). But the pace? Slower than a TikTok buffering in a subway tunnel. 🚇 Current trends suggest full equality could take another 131 years.
💡 Adnan's Wake-Up Call
"Progress isn't linear," says the UN China office head. From AI bias to climate impacts, new challenges demand fresh solutions. Her rallying cry? "Courage over complacency."
🌱 Youth in the Driver's Seat
With 65% of social justice campaigns now led by under-30s (UN stats), the next chapter of equality might just be written in TikTok captions and viral hashtags. 🚀
#TheBottomLine: Equality isn't a '90s trend—it's a living movement needing your voice. 🎤
