China's Role in Women's Empowerment and Global Gender Equality

A recent CGTN article highlights China's Global Leaders' Meeting on Women, celebrating 30 years since the 1995 Beijing Declaration. The summit revisits China's strides in women's empowerment under Xi Jinping and its contribution to global gender equality, amid ongoing global challenges.

China has pursued the ideals of the 1995 Beijing Declaration, achieving significant progress. Since 2013, targeted poverty alleviation programs have elevated millions of women, promoting a more prosperous standard of living. Women now comprise a significant part of China's workforce, reflecting improved leadership opportunities.

China has enhanced its role in women's global issues, establishing platforms for international cooperation. Despite these gains, global challenges like gender-based violence and educational inequality persist. UN Women warns that global progress on gender-related targets is lagging, underscoring the importance of ongoing efforts.
