Thirty years ago, at the Beijing Conference, which brought together thousands of women from all around the world, the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action were adopted identifying not only problems but also ways to solve them for women in every part of the world. This document became a powerful impetus for reforms aimed at improving the conditions of women in various countries, including Turkmenistan.
