25 YEARS ON: Realising the Beijing Declaration’s unfulfilled promise on macroeconomic policy

February 2020

Although macroeconomic policy was a core part of the negotiations when the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (BPfA) was developed in 1995, its role in delivering women’s rights has been largely side-lined over the last 25 years.

 This webinar seeks to inform feminists and women’s rights advocated about what the BPfA says about macroeconomic policy and what still needs to be addressed in order to realise the ambitions it set out. It will also be a change to discuss what opportunities are available in the lead up to, and including the UN General Assembly in September 2020, to re-prioritise macroeconomic policy which is at the core of resourcing all women’s human rights concerns.

As part of GADN’s Feminist Reframing of Macro-level Economics (REFRAME) project and work in relation to the 25th anniversary of the BPfA, we have also produced the following briefing:  Macroeconomic policy as part of the Beijing+25 process.
