At the Fourth World Conference on Women, held by the United Nations in Beijing in 1995, empowerment was identified as a key concept for promoting women’s rights and gender equality. The Platform for Action adopted at that time clearly defines empowerment as the process through which women gain the power necessary to improve their own lives.
This year’s Kitakyushu Conference on Asian Women is themed around empowerment.
We will be held two days conference. From across Asia, we will invite the SEWA and the HABI: The Philippine Textile Council that provide education and training for women’s empowerment. From Japan, we will highlight how individual women are being empowered and how their empowerment is spreading to others.
In two-day sessions titled “Empowerment! Who leads, and how?”, we will present an empowerment relay presentation from Japan and across Asia, featuring videos of these women in action. The program will be delivered with simultaneous interpretation in Japanese and English.
