As China prepares to host the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women in Beijing, commemorating the 28th anniversary of the landmark 1995 World Conference on Women, young voices worldwide are amplifying discussions about gender progress. CGTN Stringer's recent street interviews in Beijing, Africa, and Latin America revealed a vibrant cross-cultural dialogue on women's development.
Tsinghua University student Betizhe Osmanova Akova engaged peers in Beijing to explore evolving perspectives. "More women are breaking barriers in tech, politics, and entrepreneurship," said student Zhang, reflecting a sentiment echoed by multiple interviewees. Participants highlighted how films like Hidden Figures and literature by authors like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie inspire new generations.
The upcoming forum aims to build on this momentum, with organizers noting increased youth participation through digital platforms. Insights from African and Latin American respondents emphasized education access and economic inclusion as universal priorities, while Chinese interviewees pointed to growing leadership opportunities in STEM fields.
