Countries from around the world signed the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action during
the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995. This year, we celebrate the 30th
anniversary of these agreements, which continue to guide women's rights and emancipation
policies both in the Netherlands and internationally. This remains crucial, as in 2025 gender
equality is stagnating or declining for more than 1.1 billion women worldwide.
Therefore: Full force ahead for women's rights
Now that women’s rights, gender equality and democratic values are under pressure
worldwide, it is more important than ever that we stand together in the fight for equal rights.
That’s why WO=MEN Dutch Gender Platform is launching a campaign to raise awareness
about gender equality — together with our members, partners, and other interested parties
from August to November 2025. Because standing up for women’s rights and gender equality is
more urgent than ever!
From October, you can also follow us on social media.
Most communication will be in Dutch.
