“In China's recent national review of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action [a landmark global agenda for gender equality and women’s empowerment that was unanimously adopted by 189 countries at the UN’s 1995 World Conference on Women, which was held in Beijing], it also emphasized the importance of narrowing the gaps in development between urban and rural areas and strengthening innovation-drive growth to empower women’s comprehensive development,” remarked Wang Chu Q, head of Partnerships of UN Women China, in his keynote speech. "Next year will mark the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. We have a unique moment in history to reaffirm our commitments and accelerate our actions toward gender equality and women’s empowerment while contributing to the achievement of multiple SDGs.”
