“Civil Society Organisations processes for BEIJING+25“

In 2020, the global community will mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women and adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (1995). A five-year milestone will be reached towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

2020 is therefore a pivotal year for the accelerated realization of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls, everywhere. U.N.Women is the lead on U.N. process across the region. Earlier this year March 2019 at the CSW meeting in New York a decision was taken to have two International Conventions in June 2020 to celebrate the BPA (June 2020 Mexico/Paris).

To bring together the grassroot NGOs/CBOs, Academia and Corporates to understand and reflect on the journey of the Beijing Platform for Action to SDGs, DST and SAK organised a one day event at Pune on 24th December 2019.

The event saw participation of 70+ delegates from 40 NGOs, Academia and CSR Foundations from Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, Rajasthan and Uttarakhand.
