WOMEN’S RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS
The 1995 UN Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing set a global agenda for advancing women’s rights - rights to education, to civic and political freedom, and to a life without violence. Twenty-seven years later, women still face the heaviest burdens of conflict, democratic backsliding, and instability, but they remain on the frontlines of global movements for peace and human rights. Though vastly underrepresented in seats of power and at negotiating tables, women across the globe continue to work inside and outside the political system to achieve peace, democracy, and equality.
