The issues need worldwide implementation.
In Fiji, CEDAW implemented: law against child marriages upgraded from 12 years to 16. Also focusing on measurements against digital violence. In Mongolia BPFA remains crucial for women and girls to get their human rights. BPFA remains an symbol for hope, commitment is not enough need action in real life. The speaker did not know what feminism was. The speaker from Kyrgyzstan, puss for climate change, women and girls in rural areas do not know much about the issue.
In China women and girls with disabilities need help. They are developing a mini app for hearing and visually impaired. Also, awareness-raising workshops on sexual and reproductive health services for person with disabilities, is a very good way of creating awareness and helping healthcare workers to provide more disability-inclusive healthcare.
The speakers were all young women very dedicated.
