As the world marks 30 years since the groundbreaking Beijing Declaration on women’s rights, China hosted a major Global Leaders' Meeting this week to turbocharge gender equality efforts. President Xi Jinping outlined a bold roadmap 🌟, urging nations to prioritize women’s safety, economic empowerment, and leadership roles in governance. "Every woman is a key actor in shaping our shared future," he declared.
From Classrooms to Boardrooms: China’s Domestic Wins
China’s own progress sets a high bar: women now dominate higher education (over 50% of students!) and hold 45.8% of science roles. 💼 Poverty alleviation programs lifted 690 million women into a "moderately prosperous" lifestyle since 2013. Health stats? Maternal mortality dropped 77% since 1995, and women’s life expectancy now tops 80 years. 🩺
Global Game-Changer
Beyond borders, China’s invested $20M in UN Women, trained 200,000 women worldwide, and launched projects like digital education hubs in Africa. 🌍 Up next: $10M more for UN Women, $100M for global development funds, and 50,000 exchange invites for women to learn in China. 💡
With these moves, the meeting could spark a new era of collaboration—proving that when women thrive, societies do too. 🚀
