is marking the twentieth anniversary of the Beijing Platform for Action, the
outcome of the 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women, with this Think Piece
Series Let’s Talk about Women’s Rights: 20 Years after the Beijing Platform

discussion.
The online Series aims to create a space to:

achievements in the field of gender equality and the empowerment of women
made in the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for
Action;
- Address
the current challenges that affect the implementation of these
international instruments;
- Identify opportunities for the full realization of women’s
rights in the post-2015 development agenda.
