🎉 This year marks the 80th anniversary of the United Nations! To celebrate, CGTN rolled out a special series called The UN at 80: China's Perspective. Part 3, "A Shared Future," takes us deep into the global development gap and what we all can learn from it 🌍.
In this episode, we catch up with Gertrude Mongella, Secretary-General of the Fourth World Conference on Women, alongside students at the Huaping High School for Girls in Lijiang, in Yunnan province on the Chinese mainland. They dive into the challenges that girls face in remote areas and the power of breaking down barriers ✨.
Meet Zhang Guimei: a true changemaker! Over the past decades, she's helped more than 1,000 girls from mountainous regions chase their university dreams. By setting up free boarding schools and rallying local support, Zhang is closing the education gap one student at a time 🎓💪.
Why it matters for us? Gender equality in education isn't just a headline—it's the key to stronger communities, innovation, and a brighter future for everyone. Whether you're in Mumbai, Jakarta, or Dhaka, Zhang's story shows how one person's passion can spark global change 🌟.
Catch "A Shared Future" now and get inspired to build your own path toward equality and opportunity. After all, our shared future depends on lifting every voice and opening every classroom 🚀.
