According to a new World Bank report, Improving Women's Lives: World Bank Actions Since Beijing, there is no question that in the last ten years, the lives of women and girls around the world have, on average, improved, due in part to concerted action by the international community and national governments.
The report describes tangible activities that have advanced the goals of the Beijing Platform for Action, outlines global trends in improving girls' and women's lives, and highlights some areas in need of further action.
The report also describes World Bank projects that have helped to improve the lives of women and girls, the bank's analytical work on gender issues, as well as institutional changes that have helped the bank to increase attention to gender issues in its work.
