Three decades after the landmark Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has announced a Global Leaders' Meeting on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment, set for Beijing later this year. The event aims to reignite momentum for a cause that’s made strides—but still faces hurdles.
UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina J. Mohammed, in an exclusive interview with CGTN’s Tian Wei, praised progress since 1995 but emphasized the need for urgency: "We’ve climbed mountains, but the peak is still far. I hope others stand on our shoulders to reach higher." Her metaphor underscores the collective effort needed to tackle systemic barriers in education, leadership, and economic opportunities for women.
China’s role as host highlights its growing influence in global policymaking. Wang Yi called the upcoming summit a "platform for actionable solutions," blending diplomacy with grassroots advocacy. The timing aligns with the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration, which set historic benchmarks for gender equality.
For young activists and professionals, this isn’t just politics—it’s personal. As hashtags like #EqualFuture trend worldwide, the question remains: Can this summit turn pledges into real change? Stay tuned.
