Descrição

The year 2010 marks the 15th anniversary of the signing of the Beijing Declaration and the Platform for Action at the Fourth World Conference on Women, held in Beijing, China. This review analyses the contributions of UNFPA, through its main partnerships, to achieving the commitments made at Beijing in 1995 and those made at the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo in the previous year. It highlights the shared agendas in the ICPD Programme of Action, the Beijing Platform for Action and the Millennium Declaration and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). To facilitate dialogue on the way forward, the review contains recommendations for development partners to accelerate progress towards meeting the goals of all these conferences, with a focus on gender mainstreaming in all programmes and policies.
