During 2005, we in EWL, along with millions
of women all over the world, were happy
to celebrate one of the great achievements
of the global women’s movement, the 10th
anniversary of the Beijing Platform for
Action (BPfA). The comprehensive review
that we carried out of the implementation of
commitments made by the European Union of
the BPfA and of the Millennium Development
Goals, brought us face to face with some of the
very harsh realities of women’s lives in Europe
and globally. This year’s annual report outlines
a number of these realities in a way that I hope
allows you to sense the scale of the challenges
that women are still facing.
