20 Years after the 1995 Beijing Conference on Women – to “Step-Up” Gender Equality, we urge governments:
To uphold international human rights principles and standards;
Ratify and fully implement state obligations, including extraterritorial obligation under all international human rights treaties, including the Optional Protocols; Withdraw all reservations, enact enabling legislation and strengthen accountability mechanisms that institutionalise and support implementation.
You can support the work for women and girls in a tangible way:
