Capacity Building
Women Moving Africa Forward Annual Report 2004
The review of the Beijing Conference 10 years
after, is taking place in 2005, and for the past year
or so, the various UN regions have been going
through a process which will feed into the Global
review in March 2005. Where are we right now on
the eve of the Beijing plus 10 review? We now live
in a world that is markedly different from 1995
when the Beijing Platform for Action was agreed
on. We have moved into increasingly darker times
of reckless militarization, unilateralism, unbridled
corporate greed, a war against terrorism, an
erosion of civil liberties, the thriving of various
forms of fundamentalism and the use of adverse
trade terms and agreements to undermine
economies in many parts of the global South.
