This document provides information about global, regional and national events related to the 20-year anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (Beijing+20). Beijing+20 takes place at a strategic moment – at the crossroads of accelerated efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, review progress and gaps in MDGs, and during the elaboration of the post-2015 development agenda and sustainable development goals. The confluence of these processes provide a once-in-a-generation opportunity to position gender equality, women’s rights, and women’s empowerment front and center on the global agenda. As a result, Beijing+20 is envisaged as a dynamic, and engaging process. The focus is on accelerated and effective implementation. UN Women has identified 4 objectives for the review, appraisal and commemoration: renewed political will and commitment; Social mobilization, awareness-raising and revitalized public debate; Strengthened evidence base and knowledge generation and enhanced and sufficient resources to achieve gender equality, women’s rights and women’s empowerment.
