30 years on the Beijing curriculum: a disturbing decline in women’s rights globally

The report launched by the United Nations Women’s Authority today, Thursday, was titled “Women’s rights review 30 years after Beijing”And it was published before the International Women’s Day on March 8.

The member states of the United Nations have agreed to review the progress made in implementing the Beijing curriculum, and accordingly these countries were invited to submit reports to the United Nations Women. On behalf of the Secretary -General, the authority collected these reports – received from 159 government – in a global position and a global evaluation of gender equality and the situation of women and girls all over the world.

The moment of the launch of the report spoke to journalists in New York, Sarah Hendrix, Director of the International Policy and Programs and Programs Department of the United Nations Women, and Papa Sick, head of the Research and Data Department of the United Nations Women’s Authority

A woman was killed every 10 minutes

The report stated that nearly a quarter of governments worldwide reported attacks against women’s rights in 2024.

The report stated that women have headed only 87 countries, and a woman or girl was killed every 10 minutes by a partner or individual from her family. Digital technology and artificial intelligence publishes harmful stereotypes, while the digital gap between the gender chances of women’s chances.

A difficult global context

Baba Sik, head of the Research and Data Department of the United Nations Women, said the report highlights the growing global context. The complex crises have affected, including a pandemic Kofid-19 Conflicts and climate change, significantly on gender equality. The pandemic has led to an increase in domestic violence and the loss of women for their functions in an inconsistent manner.

The number of women who live in conflict areas has increased by more than 50% since 2010, with a 50% increase in sexual violence associated with conflict in 2022. Climate change threatens to pay 256 million women and girls to food insecurity by 2050.

Progress

On the other hand, the report shows progress since the Baygen Declaration was released in 1995. Equity has been achieved in girls ‘education and mothers’ deaths have decreased by a third. The representation of women in parliaments has doubled, and the two countries continue to remove discriminatory laws, with 1531 legal reforms between 1995 and 2024 in 189 countries and region.

The report proves that when women’s rights are fully supported in their countries, families, societies and economies, they thrive. However, great efforts are still needed to achieve gender equality and bring us closer to the sustainable development plan for 2030.

6 procedures to ensure success

Sarah Hendrix talked about “increasing violent attacks” against gender equality, saying that “active actors opposed to rights are well funded and coordinated, actively undermining consensus, long -term, on women’s rights issues.” Which hinders the legal and political implementation.

In response, the United Nations Women’s Agency suggests a “Begin + 30 action curriculum”, which calls for concrete measures to accelerate progress towards sustainable development goals. The report also called for focusing on six procedures:

• Digital revolution for all women and girls,
• Freedom from poverty.
• Eliminate violence.
• Complete and equal authority to make decisions.
• Peace and security.
• Climate justice.

A pivotal year for women

The report pointed out that the situation of young women and girls at the heart of our efforts is the best way to ensure success, today and tomorrow, noting that these measures have the ability to unleash the progress of women’s rights and return us to the right track of the 2030 plan.

In 2025, Sarah Hendrix described as a pivotal for women and girls, a year that witnesses violent negative repercussions and unparalleled crises, calling for us to push women’s rights forward to create a world in which all women and girls enjoy equal rights and opportunities.
