In the year 2025, the international community will mark the thirtieth anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women and the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (1995). Ten years will have passed since the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In the Beijing Declaration and the 2030 Agenda, UN member States took universal commitments to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls worldwide.
In line with the ECOSOC resolution E/RES/2022/5 of 8 June 2022, the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), at its sixty ninth session in 2025 “will undertake a review and appraisal of the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and the outcomes of the twenty-third special session of the General Assembly”. The review will also be an opportunity to discuss the contribution of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for action towards the full realization of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
