🌍 In 1995, world leaders gathered in Beijing and signed a milestone declaration that put women’s rights under the global spotlight. Fast forward 30 years, and gender equality remains an ongoing fight, even as geopolitics grabs headlines.
We sat down with Ms. Sarwat Adnan, head of the UN Resident Coordinator’s Office in China, to unpack why the journey is far from over.
- A bumpy path: "The road to achieve gender equality is not a straight path," Adnan reminds us. It takes time, patience, and a whole lot of courage. 💪
- Every step counts: From boardrooms to classrooms, each little win—like more women in leadership roles—adds up to real change.
- Facing new headwinds: As global narratives shift toward geopolitics, we must keep gender equality from being pushed to the sidelines.
Gender equality is an unfinished pursuit, but that doesn't mean progress has stalled. On the contrary, every campaign, every voice raised, and every policy rethink moves the needle. It’s a marathon, not a sprint, and youth activism plays a starring role.
So what can we do? Speak up. Support inclusive policies. Amplify stories of change. Because the more we push, the closer we get to a world where everyone can thrive, regardless of gender.
