Hey everyone! Have you ever heard of the Beijing Declaration? 🤔 It’s a big promise the world made 30 years ago to make sure boys and girls, men and women have the same rights and opportunities!
On Monday, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said it’s time to make that promise come true! 🕰️ He’s like the world’s principal, reminding all the countries to work together for fairness and equality.
Did you know that even today, many girls and women face challenges like unfair pay and fewer opportunities? That’s not cool! 😟 For example, women around the world still get paid about 20% less than men for the same jobs. That’s like getting only 8 candies when your friend gets 10 for the same work! 🍬🍬🍬
Mr. Guterres also mentioned that new technologies, like the internet and social media, can sometimes be used in bad ways. Some people use them to say mean things or hurt others, especially girls. We need to make sure the internet is a safe place for everyone! 💻❤️
He told all the countries to invest in education 📚, stop violence against women and girls ✋, and support more women leaders in technology and other fields. Imagine a world where everyone gets the same chances to be anything they want! 🚀
Let’s all do our part to make the world a fair place. Talk to your friends and family about why equality is important. Remember, together we can make a difference! 🌎💪
“Now is the time for the world to accelerate progress and deliver on the promise of Beijing,” said Mr. Guterres. Let’s make it happen! 😊
