The Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on the Beijing+30 Review featured a series of side events to further discussions on promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls within the context of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. These side events offered a unique platform for stakeholders across sectors to engage in discussions aligned with the themes of the Beijing+30 review, contributing to regional and global efforts in advancing gender equality.
Side events were independently organized by the organizations hosting the side events. For any specific questions related to any of the side events, please contact the respective organizers directly. Contact information of the side event organizers can be found in the Concept Notes under the "Programme" tab.
