3rdSessionESCAPbangkokWomen continue to lobby and push governments for full implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action, the most comprehensive plan for gender equality that was the outcome of the Fourth World Conference for Women in Beijing, China. Adopted by 189 countries, the Platform for Action is considered a major achievement by a global women's movement to put women's issues of rights and equality on government agendas.

At the Third Session of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific, August 18-20, 2014 in Bangkok, Thailand, government delegates and women's CSOs from the region came together to review the elements of a draft outcome document for the Asian and Pacific Conference on Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment: Beijing+20 Review. This was the first draft review in preparation for the High Level Review Meeting that will take place at the UNESCAP headquarters on November 17, 2014.
