World Conference on Women in New York: Defending Women's Rights through Multidisciplinary Action for a Sustainable Future

 


A Milestone Celebration with a Vision for the Future


As UN Women marks its 80th anniversary, the event reflected on the progress made in advancing gender equality while recognizing the need for accelerated efforts to bridge the remaining gaps. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a crucial framework for achieving gender justice; however, significant challenges persist. Women worldwide continue to face barriers in access to justice, protection from violence, and equitable representation in governance and decision-making. The event focused on revitalizing the Beijing Platform for Action and CSW’s role in shaping gender policies.

The event organizers from the Hope Pyx Global, National Council Member of UNA-USA and IFIMES emphasized the need for urgent action, stating, “Technology can be a powerful tool for empowerment, but it has also become a weapon for traffickers and perpetrators. We must ensure that digital transformation prioritizes safety, accountability, and justice for women and marginalized communities.”

The War in Ukraine as an inevitable manifestation of globalism vs. nationalism

Immagine
  A fter two years and four months since its outbreak, the War in Ukraine has turned out to be arguably the most significant event in contemporary international relations. Although its warfare is limited to the geographic areas centered on eastern and southeastern parts of the country, the War has involved global political and economic confrontation between Russia and the U.S.-led West. Evidently, with the BRICS and major Global South countries having taken non-U.S., if not anti-U.S., stances, the War is rapidly transforming the already severely declined U.S. hegemony into an embryonic multipolar world order . It is now of great importance to comprehend the essential nature of the War from a macro-historical perspective on modern and contemporary international relations. Such an approach will likely enable going beyond conventional current event commentary, policy analysis, and regular IR/comparative analysis. This study is particularly interested in the Jewish question as a va...
