The Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) hosts a dissemination forum titled ‘BPfA+30: Bridging Progress Towards Gender Equality and Sustainable Development’ at the Swiss-Belhotel Blulane in Sta. Cruz, City of Manila on December 19, 2024.

This forum marks a pivotal moment as it aligns with the upcoming 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (BPfA), a landmark global framework established in 1995 aimed at advancing gender equality and empowering women. The BPfA encompasses strategic objectives across 12 critical areas, including education, health, economic participation and political decision-making.

The event aims to share the findings of the BPfA+30 Philippine Progress Report, which evaluates the country’s progress in achieving gender equality over the past three (3) decades. It will also serve as a platform to reaffirm commitments from various sectors towards the goals of the BPfA, emphasizing the Philippines’ dedication to creating an inclusive and equitable society.
