Abstract of Paper “Protect Women’s Human Rights, Promote Full Development of Women—In Commemoration of  the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights” 

During the past 60 years, the international community, governments and civil societies have made vigorous efforts to eliminate discrimination against women and to promote full development of women’s human rights, and have acquired significant achievements and valuable experience. Yet, due to the differences between social systems, historical backgrounds, cultural environments and stages of socio-economic development, there still exists imbalance in the development of women’s human rights among countries. With all countries facing different levels of challenges and obstacles, there is a long way to go to fully realize women’s human rights.
