🎤 In a CGTN livestream interview, we caught up with Huang Xiaowei in Beijing just days before the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women on October 13–14.
🌟 As vice-president and first member of the Secretariat of the All-China Women's Federation and vice chairperson of the National Working Committee on Children and Women of the State Council, Huang highlights the lasting impact of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action since 1995. She calls it a blueprint that set the stage for progress in education, healthcare, and economic empowerment for women.
📈 Over the years, China's strides in boosting women's participation—from classrooms to boardrooms—have been impressive. Huang points to rising enrollment rates, expanding parental leave policies, and more women stepping into leadership roles as proof of real change.
🤝 Beyond its borders, China has contributed to advancing women's causes worldwide through international partnerships and support for empowerment programs in developing countries. Huang believes these efforts showcase the power of collaborative action.
✨ Looking ahead, she expects the upcoming meeting to spark fresh commitments on issues like equal pay, digital inclusion, and climate resilience. Huang says the gathering in Beijing is a chance to turn vision into action and inspire a new wave of global cooperation on gender equality.
