Global

International Women’s Day

Thirty years after global leaders came together for the International Conference on Population and Development, affirming that women’s empowerment is tied to peace and prosperity, the world has made significant strides in creating societies where women and girls have a voice and a choice. Yet millions of women and girls remain excluded from this progress.

释放性别平等的力量:提振妇女和女童之声,开启世界的无限可能

妇女和女童的需求至关重要。

全球人口中,妇女和女童占49.7%。然而,在有关人口统计和人口政策的讨论中,她们对生活、家庭和事业的渴望往往被忽视,她们的权利也常常受到侵犯。其结果是形成了一个排斥、边缘化地球上所有妇女和女童并限制其发挥潜力的世界——这不仅仅影响到妇女和女童,也将阻止我们所有人拥抱一个更加繁荣、和平和可持续的未来。

而这一问题的根源是性别不平等。

在世界各地,这种普遍存在的不公正使妇女和女童无法进入学校、职场和担任领导职务;限制了她们在自身健康、性与生殖方面做决策的能力和自主权;并增加了她们遭受暴力、有害做法和可预防的孕产妇死亡的风险,致使每两分钟就有一名妇女因怀孕或分娩而死亡。

正如《2023年世界人口状况》报告所主张的那样,当社会赋予妇女和女童权能,让她们能够行使对自己的生活和身体的自主权时,她们及其家庭就会繁荣发展。由此产生的连锁效应是形成一个更加美好、包容、更有能力应对未来任何人口变化和挑战的世界。

World Population Day 2023

Unleashing the power of gender equality: Uplifting the voices of women and girls to unlock our world’s infinite possibilities

What women and girls want matters.

They make up 49.7 per cent of the global population, yet women and girls are often ignored in discussions on demographics, with their rights violated in population policies. The result is a world that excludes and marginalizes half the population of the planet – a problem that will prevent all of us from experiencing a more prosperous, peaceful and sustainable future.
