Beijing + 15: Review of Progress in Implementing in Pacific Island Countries and Territories
Compiled by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community
Human Development Programme
In 2010, the world is celebrating the 15th anniversary of the groundbreaking Beijing Declaration and Platform forAction (BPA) adopted at the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995. The BPA is a comprehensive and transformative framework for action to move humanity forward through the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls who, despite holding up half the sky and being the key to our collective political, social, economic, environmental and cultural security and prosperity, still suffer countless archaic and destructive forms of discrimination the world over. The BPA’s 12 Critical Areas of Concern were recognised by the world as crucial for governments, civil society, United Nations (UN) agencies and other stakeholders to focus on to eliminate discrimination against women and achieve gender equality.
This report provides a comprehensive ‘Pacific picture’ of the status of implementation of the BPA at national and regional levels.
The report will be used as a baseline document for discussion at the 11th Triennial Conference of Pacific Women, to be convened by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) in August 2010, and will provide governments, civil society actors, development partners and Pacific Island women and men more generally with a resource for understanding where we are on the road to gender equality, and the journey we have yet to travel. ______________________________________________________________
