🚨Our world is failing women and girls. 30 years after the Beijing Declaration, progress on women’s rights has been too slow. Rights are under attack. Opportunities are unequal. Justice is still out of reach. This is UNACCEPTABLE. We must stand up #ForAllWomenAndGirls. Learn how: https://lnkd.in/eEzwYYcK #Beijing30

About us
UN Women is the UN organization dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women. A global champion for women and girls, UN Women was established to accelerate progress on meeting their needs worldwide. #CSW67 #IWD2023 #PowerOn UN Women supports UN Member States as they set global standards for achieving gender equality, and works with governments and civil society to design laws, policies, programmes and services needed to implement these standards. It stands behind women’s equal participation in all aspects of life, focusing on five priority areas: increasing women’s leadership and participation; ending violence against women; engaging women in all aspects of peace and security processes; enhancing women’s economic empowerment; and making gender equality central to national development planning and budgeting.

The Beijing Declaration was a game-changer – the world’s boldest plan for #GenderEquality. Created by 189 countries in 1995, it tackles 12 critical areas, from jobs to peace, ending violence to political power. 2025 marks its 30-year anniversary and we’re falling behind. Time to: 💪 Push harder 🗣️ Speak louder ✅ Act decisively #ForAllWomenAndGirls. https://lnkd.in/ePwKh4ns #Beijing30

✨ The future is feminist—& we’re not waiting another 30 years for change! ✨ Last week in Astana, Kazakhstan, leaders, activists & changemakers from across Central Asia came together to push forward real action for gender equality at a high-level regional meeting. 🌏💜 From tackling gender-based violence to boosting women’s leadership & economic power, the message was clear: Equality. Rights. Empowerment. For ALL Women & Girls. The countdown to 2030 is on, and we need bold policies, real investments & unstoppable activism to make gender equality a reality. Who’s with us? 💪🔥 #Beijing30 #ForAllWomenAndGirls
