Women's rights.

Today we dive into one example of how a #poster can talk about social issues.

A thread:

In 1995, the Fourth World Conference on Women was held in Beijing. It was a historic event that brought together thousands of delegates from around the world to discuss gender equality and women’s rights. #Beijing95

The conference resulted in the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, a visionary agenda for the empowerment of women. It set out measures for national and international action in 12 critical areas of concern. #BeijingPlatformforAction

These areas included poverty, education and training, health, violence against women, armed conflict, economy, power and decision-making, institutional mechanisms for the advancement of women, human rights of women, media, environment, and the girl child. #GenderEquality

The Beijing Platform for Action is considered the most progressive blueprint ever for advancing women’s rights. It has served as a roadmap for achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. #WomensRights

Since its adoption, progress has been made in many areas, but there is still much work to be done to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. The Platform for Action continues to serve as a guide for action.

The Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing was a landmark event that continues to shape the global conversation on gender equality and women’s rights. Its legacy lives on through the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. #Beijing95

Here is the UnWomen website, where you can find more details on the Platform for Action.
