Global Goals on Women’s Right Fall Far Short of Promises Made 20 Years Ago

“The Beijing agreement is not a perfect roadmap for the realisation of gender equality and women’s rights – like the SDGs, it doesn’t go far enough in protecting women’s sexual and reproductive health and rights, or challenging global economic structures that rely on the exploitation of women and the environment to generate wealth. But it offers a more progressive vision than any other global political commitment of the past 20 years, and governments must not be allowed to forget that”.
