2 On April 9, 2015, the Gender and Inclusive Development (SID-GID) Workgroup of the Society for International Development Washington, DC Chapter, held an event entitled A Special Evening to Celebrate Voices from Beijing. In recognition of the 20 th anniversary of the Beijing Platform for Action, the SID-GID Workgroup celebrated the men and women who attended the UN Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing. The event was part of a year-long discussion organized by SID- GID on what progress has been made since 1995 and the challenges and opportunities for moving forward. Ms. Susanna Mudge, Chemonics, welcomed the attendees, gave a brief statement of Chemonics work related to gender rights, and honored the attendees who had been at the Beijing Conference. Ambassador Donald Steinberg, World Learning, first greeted the audience. He then highlighted the significance of the Beijing Conference. In particular, he mentioned how prior to the conference, the global community was failing to provide resources to women and empower them, especially in conflict areas. After the conference, people became more aware of the need to integrate gender considerations, making the Beijing Conference a huge moment for women everywhere. Ms. Jennifer Collins-Foley, World Learning and SID-GID co-chair, made a few comments about the 12 upcoming workgroup events related to Beijing+20. She also provided some other logistical information about the event before handing things over to the moderator, Indira Lakshmanan. Ms. Indira Lakshmanan, Bloomberg News, introduced the panelists and described how the evening s discussion would focus on: (1) what it was like to be at the event, (2) what has been accomplished in the last 20 years, and (3) where progress still needs to be made going forward. She then turned the discussion over to the first panelist. Ms. Lissa Muscatine, Politics and Prose Bookstore, started by describing some of the opposition that Hilary Clinton faced when trying to attend the Beijing Summit, including the arrest of activist Henry Wu earlier that year. She also mentioned that part of what enabled then-first Lady Clinton to attend the conference was her strong desire to do so. Following that, Ms. Muscatine discussed the process of writing the speech that then-first Lady Clinton gave at the event. She explained that while writing the speech required collaboration, only a few people saw the speech before it was given, and it was this unfiltered aspect of the speech that made it so successful. Ambassador Melanne Verveer, Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace, and Security, summarized the process required for Hilary Clinton to speak at the Beijing conference. Ambassador Verveer mentioned how it was difficult because both the left and the right opposed her going, and this was further complicated by the arrest of Henry Wu, who was fortunately released before First Lady Clinton attended the conference. The Ambassador then highlighted the importance of Hilary Clinton s speech, saying that it made waves and catalyzed the international women s rights movement in many ways. For example, when then-first Lady Clinton listed the many abuses against women world-wide, such as rape and honor killing, and said that each of the abuses was a violation of human rights, she connected with her audience. It was this connection that led to action after the conference and is the reason people still quote the speech when they meet Mrs. Clinton. Ambassador Verveer concluded by summarizing opinions about the speech, saying that they were mainly positive, despite some concerns about the speech before it was given.
3 Ms. Kathy Hendrix, Conrad Hilton Foundation, focused mainly on comparing the Beijing and Nairobi conferences. She began by saying that since both were policy conferences, they forced governments to decide on a policy, which in turn led to intra-government arguments. In the lead up to both conferences, governments also faced pressure from non-governmental organizations (NGOs). She mentioned how the NGOs were particularly important for raising awareness of women with disabilities. Ms. Hendrix also mentioned how some NGOs faced difficulties in getting visa s to attend the Beijing Conference. She also stressed how while the international women s rights movement was in its nascent stages at the Nairobi Conference it had become a full-fledged movement immediately after the Beijing conference. She used the issue of violence against women to highlight this distinction; during the Nairobi conference, there was a phrase about domestic violence that legitimized it as an issue, but the Beijing summit created a world-wide movement against domestic violence. After Kathy Hendrix concluded her remarks, there was a short discussion about the speech. Ms. Alyse Nelson, Vital Voices, focused on what it was like to be a young person at the event and the great lengths she had taken to attend the conference, including using a fake NGO to try to get a visa. She described how she ultimately had to go as a tourist, but still managed to connect with the other NGOs and journalists at the Conference. Ms. Nelson then stated how the experience was transformative because she saw the difference between her situation and the situation of other women attending the conference. When then-first Lady Hilary Clinton used her platform of power to voice the issues of women around the world, Ms. Nelson realized that she too could use her voice to make a difference. Ms. Nelson then wrapped up her comments and the discussion turned to what progress has been made and what still needs to be done going forward. Each of the panelists expressed their opinions about where progress had occurred and which issues still need to be addressed. Ambassador Verveer believed that girls education had made significant progress and female genital mutilation had shifted from being just a cultural practice to being a criminal matter. Both she and Ms. Nelson stressed that violence against women is still a major issue. Ms. Nelson also emphasized there has been great progress on including girl s issues when talking about women s issues. Ms. Muscatine highlighted that while there are still a number of issues facing women, only 20 years have passed since the Beijing Conference, and progress has been made including reducing maternal mortality rates. Ms. Hendrix pointed out that there a still a number of men who do not take women s issues seriously or even consider them a foreign policy concern. Subsequently, Ambassador Verveer stated how people have realized that protecting women s rights is the smart course of action because the data supports doing so, particularly in the economic sphere. However, she also reiterated how there are still too few women in politics, and how in some places, women have to risk their lives in order to enter the political sphere. Going forward, Ambassador Verveer recommended not calling it women s issues anymore because these issues really affect everyone. Ms. Nelson recommended mainstreaming women s issues by including them in the Sustainable Development Goals in a meaningful way. She made this recommendation because she believed that the overlap between the Beijing Platform for Action and the Millennium Development Goals helped mainstream some women s issues and helped with progress, particularly in getting more girls enrolled in schools. Following this riveting discussion, Indira Lakshmanan made some closing remarks and Cristina Manfre thanked the panelists, SID-W, Chemonics, and others involved with this event.
