Speakers would update us on the outcomes of the United Nations General Assembly High-Level Meeting to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the 4th World Conference on Women (where Beijing Declaration 1995 was adopted along with its Platform for Action).
The Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action is the most ambitious global political commitment on women’s rights ever achieved. It affirmed that the rights of women and girls are not separate, secondary, or negotiable - they are human rights.
Right after UNGA HLM on Beijing+30, Asia Pacific regional multistakeholder dialogue was held to explore innovations in teacher education and training to support well-being education, including Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE).
