The corridors and podiums of the United Nations have been taken over by powerful women: government ministers, senior UN officials, and women's rights leaders from around the world. They have gathered in New York to chart the progress of a landmark declaration on women's empowerment and gender equality, which was issued at a UN conference in Beijing 15 years ago.
