Hey fam! Did you know that in the Chinese mainland, a saying goes, “Women hold up half the sky”? 💪🌤️ This year’s extra special—it’s the 30th anniversary of the 4th World Conference on Women (Beijing ’95), where the historic Beijing Declaration & Platform for Action first saw the light. Now, global leaders have gathered in Beijing for the Global Leaders’ Meeting on Women to chart the next steps for women’s development worldwide.
CGTN Digital reporter Wu You was on the ground, chatting with ministers, UN officials, and changemakers about their key takeaways. The conversation covered everything from tech to well-being, and here are the big vibes:
- Digital Inclusion 🚀: Bridging the gender tech gap with coding bootcamps and digital skills for women.
- Leadership & Mentorship 🌟: Building solid networks and mentorship programs to boost women into leadership roles.
- Well-Being & Work-Life Harmony 🧘♀️: Advocating for mental health support, maternity rights, and flexible schedules as essentials, not perks.
- Sustainable Impact 🌍: Tying gender equality to climate action and economic growth for a win–win for people and planet.
The 1995 legacy still shines, but the playbook’s leveling up for our fast-paced, digital-first world. The main takeaway? Women’s empowerment isn’t a side quest—it’s central to building inclusive, thriving societies. So whether you’re in Mumbai or Manila, let’s keep pushing for policies, platforms, and partnerships that make every woman’s voice heard. 🔥
