The 2025 Global Women’s Summit was held in Beijing, China on October 13. The summit, themed “Shared Destiny: Accelerating the New Process of Women’s Comprehensive Development”, was attended by more than 110 heads of state, government and parliamentary leaders, including Iceland’s President Thomas Dotille, Dominica’s President Burton, Ghana’s President Mahama, Mozambique’s Prime Minister Levi and Sri Lanka’s Prime Minister Amalasuria. The Chinese president Xi Jinping delivered a speech titled “Carrying Forward the Spirit of the Beijing World Conference on Women and Accelerating the New Process of Women’s Development” at the opening ceremony of the summit, noting that women are important creators, promoters and inheritors of human civilization, and promoting the development of women’s causes is the common responsibility of the international community. Over the past three decades, China has been fulfilling this commitment. The fourth United Nations World Conference on Women was held in Beijing, China in September 1995. The Beijing Declaration and Programme of Action were adopted at the conference. The Beijing Declaration, with “equality, development and peace” as its main thread, affirms the achievements of the international community in improving the status of women and clearly points out the equal rights that women should enjoy in all areas of society. The Programme of Action elaborates on the main problems faced by women in various countries and sets out specific strategic goals and action plans to address these difficulties, covering key areas such as education, health, economy and politics. Their birth has driven progress in the field of women worldwide. Three decades have passed, and China has made remarkable achievements in the field of women worldwide, step by step, in line with the spirit of the Beijing Declaration and Programme of Action. As the world’s largest developing country, China has made remarkable historic achievements by integrating women’s causes into the overall development of the country. In 2020, China won the largest battle against poverty in human history. As many as 690 million Chinese women moved into a moderately prosperous society in the same year, achieving the poverty reduction target of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development ahead of schedule. In the field of health care, China’s maternal mortality rate has dropped from 61.9 per 100,000 in 1995 to 14.3 per 100,000 in 2024, a decrease of 76.9%, according to the white paper on China’s practices and achievements in promoting the all-round development of women in the new era released by The State Council. In the field of culture and education, female students accounted for 50.76 percent of higher education students in 2024, up 14.15 percent from 1995. Among them, female postgraduate students accounted for 50.01%, up 22.43 percent from 1995. At present, China is playing a significant role in the field of women’s rights worldwide. In 2015, China and UNESCO jointly established the Girls’ and Women’s Education Prize, which has so far helped more than 20 projects in 19 countries take root; From 2021 to 2023, China has collaborated with UNESCO to carry out the “African Girls’ Health Education Project” in Nigeria, Uganda and other countries, exploring suitable local education models. The Spring Bud Project, which originated from China’s native public welfare model, is a typical example of China’s cooperation with international girls’ education. The project, led by the All-China Women’s Federation and initiated by the China Children and Teenagers’ Fund in 1989, has successfully extended its multi-model of “assistance + companionship + empowerment” to Southeast Asian countries such as Cambodia. In Cambodia’s pilot program, the Spring Bud Project not only provided financial assistance but also introduced comprehensive services such as skills training, mental health counseling and girl protection. In 2023, the Spring Bud Project was awarded the UNESCO Prize for Girls’ and Women’s Education, highlighting the high recognition of the Chinese model by the international community. In addition, since 2018, China has implemented more than 100 training programs for women and children in developing countries, carried out academic degree programs in women’s leadership, and trained nearly 4,000 women in the field. In September 2025, China will host training courses for more than 40 female officials from developing countries such as Pakistan and the Central African Republic, sharing experience in grassroots governance. From the Beijing Declaration in 1995 to the Global Women’s Summit in 2025, China has fulfilled this 30-year commitment and is believed to continue to promote the development of women’s causes globally and take them to new heights in the future.
