Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The 'Beijing Declaration' and the accompanying Platform for Action were adopted during the Fourth World Conference on Women held in Beijing, China, in September 1995 [2]. This landmark document is widely regarded as the most comprehensive global policy framework and 'Bill of Rights' for women, aimed at achieving gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls worldwide. The declaration reaffirms the international community's commitment to the equal rights and inherent human dignity of women and men, building upon principles from the UN Charter and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women [4]. It identifies 12 critical areas of concern, including women's health, education, and participation in decision-making, to ensure the full enjoyment of human rights by women and the girl child [3].
