Issued to coincide with the Fourth World Conference on Women, held in Beijing in September 1995 — the largest gathering of its kind, drawing roughly 47,000 attendees including an NGO forum that the Chinese government relocated to Huairou, some 50 kilometers from the capital, amid considerable diplomatic friction. The conference produced the Beijing Platform for Action, which remains the primary UN framework document on gender equality to this day.
