Women and the Future of Work: Beijing+20 and Beyond

Despite significant progress since the 4th World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995, women continue to experience widespread discrimination and inequality in the workplace.

The future of work means more women at work, and this future must deliver on gender equality.
