Film Description
From the largest gathering of women in history emerge images of an awe-inspiring global movement led by women working to improve their own communities. The Beijing Conference produced the strongest consensus on women's equality, empowerment and justice ever endorsed by governments. Signed by 189 nations, the Beijing Declaration is a magnificent vision for a world we all want to live in and the Platform for Action is the practical, specific and comprehensive directive for bringing it about. Five planks from the platform - poverty, education, economics, human rights and armed conflict - frame the video. Narrated by Bella Abzug, To Empower Women glimpses a future that respects all people, a moving tribute to the multitude of actions women everywhere are taking right now. Complete 162 page Declaration and Platform included.
