Beijing+30 Action Agenda: For ALL women and girls

The Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, agreed in 1995 by 189 countries, elaborates actions under 12 critical areas of concern. These generate gains for women and girls across all areas of their lives and underpin achievement of the global Sustainable Development Goals.

Based on evidence from the thirtieth anniversary review of progress on the Beijing Platform for Action, including the national reports of 159 Member States and consultation with partners, UN Women has defined a Beijing+30 Action Agenda.

It comprises six key actions to make faster strides on both platform commitments and the global goals. The actions accelerate equality by freeing women and girls from poverty and increasing their voice, choice, and safety. They help close persistent gaps in implementing the platform revealed by the review, towards translating its promises into real and rapid changes in the lives of women and girls. Each action would unite people from diverse backgrounds, across countries and regions, to move forward together. Each is meant explicitly for ALL women and girls.
