MESSAGE OF THE UNDP ADMINISTRATOR HELEN CLARK ON INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY “Equal rights, equal opportunities: progress for all”

Right now, the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women is gathering in New York to review progress towards gender equality since the groundbreaking Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995. That landmark conference recognized the barriers women face in achieving full equality, and an internationally agreed plan to address the problem, titled the Beijing Platform for Action, was adopted.
