Adopted in 1995, the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (BPfA) is a blueprint for women’s rights and empowerment, and gender equality. Thirty years after its adoption, the twelve critical areas of concern within the BPfA remain pertinent today. In the run up to Beijing+30ii, these twelve critical areas, which are interdependent and interrelated, have further been clustered and organized by UN Women into six thematic areas to inspire concerted action from multiple stakeholders.
