Get ready, changemakers! From October 13–14, Beijing is hosting the Global Leaders’ Meeting on Women 🌟. Before the spotlight turns on the conference floor, CGTN anchor Wang Mangmang sat down with Huang Xiaowei—vice president of the All-China Women’s Federation and vice chairperson of the State Council’s National Working Committee on Children and Women—to unpack China’s journey on gender equality and women’s all-round development.
Huang highlighted the game-changing impact of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, a landmark framework launched in 1995 that still fuels progress today. She broke down four key achievements:
- Strong backing from the Communist Party of China: Policies, funding, and top-level support that lift women’s voices nationwide.
- Higher sense of fulfillment: Women feeling more empowered—whether in tech startups, creative industries, or local leadership.
- Growing social representation: From boardrooms to grassroots councils, women’s perspectives are shaping big decisions.
- Active role in global governance: China stepping up to champion women’s issues on the world stage.
For young adults across South Asia and Southeast Asia, these strides resonate deeply. Whether you’re building an app in Bangalore, creating content in Jakarta, or leading a community project in Manila, the push for gender equality is redefining our digital and social horizons 💪.
As the Global Leaders’ Meeting on Women kicks off, all eyes are on Beijing to see how these themes will inspire the next wave of female leaders and change-makers across Asia. Stay tuned for more updates! 🔥
