Show Notes

In 1995, tens of thousands of activists gathered in Beijing for the Fourth World Conference on Women to develop a framework to advance gender equality. In light of the conference’s 25th anniversary, The Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security (GIWPS) published Beijing+25: Accelerating Progress for Women and Girls to reflect and provide a roadmap to advance gender equity. GJIA sat down with Dr. Jeni Klugman, managing director of GIWPS, to discuss the report, including new challenges for women in the era of COVID-19.
