Sandra Eleta (Panama), La servidumbre, 1978-79. Between 30 June and 2 July 2021, the United Nations and other multilateral organisations held the Generation Equality Forum in Paris (France). The forum was held to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action set out at the Fourth World Conference on Women (1995). Re-reading the Beijing Platform shows that rather than advance the cause of justice and equality, many countries have slipped backwards. Critical areas of concern to be addressed included the following: The burden of poverty on women. Inequalities and inadequacies in access to education, training, healthcare, employment, and decision-making. Violence against women, including the grave dangers for women in armed conflict.
