30 years ago, women gathered in Beijing with a fierce determination to demand change. Moni Pizani Orsini was part of that movement, and recalls the unstoppable energy that became a turning point for women’s rights. While progress has been made, the gains remain at risk. ✊ Now more than ever, we must continue to lead by example, empower young women, and push forward—bolder, fiercer, unstoppable—until every promise is fulfilled #ForAllWomenAndGirls. 👉 Read Moni’s reflections: https://lnkd.in/ehvAir_P #Beijing30
