Abstract
The United Nations Women’s Commission on the Status of Women met March of 2016. Their original meeting was held in Beijing in 1995. Their initial draft titled Women’s Empowerment and the Link to Sustainable Development is a draft of agreed conclusions which reveals the following topics (February 12, 2016): strengthening normative, legal, and policy frameworks, enhancing national institutional arrangements, fostering enabling environments for financing gender equality and women’s empowerment, strengthening women’s leadership and supporting women’s civil society organizations, strengthening gender-responsive data collection, follow-up and review, and monitoring and accountability processes. This commission confirms that it will contribute to the follow-up by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
So as to accelerate the realization of gender equality and empowerment of women and girls, and will exercise its catalytic role for gender mainstreaming so as to ensure that review processes benefit women and girls and lead to the full realization of gender equality and the empowerment of women by 2030. (U.N. Women 2016, February, p. 4)
No self-respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party that ignores her sex.
