Statement by Ms. Takea Tesfamichael
during the 69th Session of the
Commission on the Status of Women
New York
Thursday 13th March 2025
Madam Chair,
Beijing Declaration remains one of the most pivotal global commitments not only in advancing the rights of women and girls but also in fostering advanced and inclusive societies. While undeniable progress has been made since Beijing, we are far from fulfilling its bold aspirations and data indicating we are over a hundred years away from achieving gender equality is a sobering reality that demands urgent action.
Madam Chair, allow me to offer a few reflections.
