Trump Administration Pushes Back as UN Meeting on Women Embraces Abortion, Gender Ideology
27th March 2025
The UN Commission on the Status of Women concluded its annual meeting in New York last week. As always, sex radicals from the developed world did their best to push their agenda—under the cover of women’s equality—on rightly resistant countries in the developing world.
The meeting marked the thirtieth anniversary of the Fourth World Congress on Women, which took place in Beijing, China in 1995. There, delegates endorsed a Declaration and Platform for Action purportedly to achieve equality for women. And it was there that then-First Lady Hillary Clinton issued her rallying cry, “human rights are women’s rights, and women’s rights are human rights,” ushering in decades of debate on the world stage over the proper meaning of that claim.
The Beijing conference produced a progressive wish list, but negotiators kept abortion out of the final document. That battle didn’t end in 1995, though. Every subsequent meeting of the Commission on the Status of Women has witnessed a renewed debate over so-called sexual and reproductive health and rights, the Left’s umbrella term that includes abortion rights.
The UN has been run by bureaucrats that are either European or trained and educated by Europeans. These are the people who constitute the ‘TransGlobal Elite’. And it’s always going to be a problem. I personally think that we’d be better off outside of the UN than beating our heads against this particular wall.
