In 1995, governments adopted the landmark Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, a global blueprint for advancing women’s rights. In 2025, the world marks the 30th anniversary of this declaration (Beijing +30), including through a review of country implementation during the Commission on the Status of Women taking place in March.

March 2025 is a pivotal moment for equality, and young MPs are key to help drive a new chapter for gender equality that benefits all women and communities.
 
The aims of the briefing are, therefore, to:
•    Raise awareness among young MPs on the Beijing +30 review. Contributions will be made by international experts, including civil society leaders of the Generation Equality Forum.
•    Share good practices to prioritize young women’s empowerment and political participation. Participants are invited to come prepared to showcase such good practices.
•    Reflect on key pillars of action that young MPs can take to promote young women’s rights, empowerment and political participation.

This briefing is part of the IPU Empowerment Series and the WYDE | Women's Leadership Initiative. 

Simultaneous interpretation will be available in English, French, Spanish and Arabic.
