The Beijing +10 global review will be carried out by the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) at its forty-ninth session in March 2005. The objective of this process is to review the implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action (BPfA), signed by 189 governments at the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women held in Beijing, China in 1995, and the outcome of the Beijing+ 5 Special Session of the United Nations General Assembly in 2000. The review and appraisal by the CSW will identify achievements, gaps and challenges and provide an indication of areas where actions and initiatives, within the framework of the BPfA and the outcome of the special session (Beijing +5), are most urgent to further implementation. In preparation, UNESCAP is coordinating the review of Asia-Pacific regional responses to the DAW Questionnaire to Governments on the BPfA and Beijing+5, and will host a High-Level Intergovernmental Meeting on Beijing+10 in 7-10 September 2004.
