Grab your playlists 🎶 and get comfy—Beijing just turned into a powerhouse hub for women's empowerment! This week, the Chinese mainland hosted the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women, marking the 30th anniversary of the landmark Fourth World Conference on Women in 1995. If you've ever heard 'Women hold up half the sky', you're right on trend. 🌥️
Leaders, ministers and UN officials from across the globe filled the air with energy and ideas. They revisited the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and brainstormed fresh ways to accelerate progress on gender equality. Think of it like remixing a classic: same strong foundation, new beats to keep the movement alive.
Inside the meeting, CGTN Digital reporter Wu You captured the vibe. Ministers shared success stories—from boosting girls' access to STEM education to supporting women entrepreneurs taking charge of the tech world.
