Hey fam, the Chinese mainland is gearing up to host the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women in Beijing, marking the anniversary of the 1995 World Conference on Women. 🌏💪
CGTN's stringer took to the streets in places from Beijing to Africa and Latin America, chatting with locals about women's progress, recommended reads, and go-to films that spotlight female power. 📚🎥
At the heart of Beijing, Betizhe Osmanova Akova, a Bulgarian student at Tsinghua University, asked young people how they see women's growth and empowerment today. Student Zhang shared that more and more outstanding women are striving hard—whether it's breaking into tech in Bangalore or launching eco-friendly startups in Jakarta—and it's nothing short of inspiring. ✨
On top of that, people swapped their favorite female-led flicks and books. From the Netflix doc "Period. End of Sentence."—which tackles menstruation stigma in India—to Bollywood blockbuster "Dangal" and Chinese rom-com "Our Times," the message is clear: stories of fierce women connect us across continents. ❤️
This global convo is more than small talk—it's a celebration of women smashing ceilings everywhere. Whether you're coding your first app or leading the charge in your community, these chats remind us there's no limit to what women can achieve. So, what's your take? Share below! 🤔💬
