In 2014, UN Member States from across Asia and the Pacific came together with civil society organizations to review the implementation status of the Beijing Platform for Action (BPfA) adopted in 1995 at the Fourth World Conference on Women. The Platform is a stirring call to action to end the historical subordination of women and girls. It recognizes that equal rights, opportunities and access to resources, as well as equal sharing of family responsibilities by women and men, are critical to human development. The Platform further affirms that peace and security are inextricably linked with the advancement of women and that women must be involved as leaders in decision-making at all levels for effective conflict resolution and the promotion of lasting peace.
