U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres lashed out at men who abuse power and declared that the fight for gender equality is “the biggest human rights challenge we face'
The Beijing platform called for bold action in 12 areas for women and girls, including combating poverty and violence, ensuring all girls get an education, and having women at the top levels of business and government as well as at the table in peace negotiations.
The draft declaration expected to be adopted Monday reaffirms the Beijing platform for action and expresses concern “that overall, progress has not been fast or deep enough.” It pledges to take “concrete action to ensure the full, effective and accelerated implementation” of the road map. He said there are advances in some areas and the declaration avoids “backtracking on some of the issues where there was huge push back.”
In the end, Skoog said, direct references to both issues were dropped in the declaration. But since the declaration affirms the Beijing platform, what that document says about the family and women’s rights and health will stand.
