 As we celebrate the 25 years of the Beijing Declaration and platform for action and observe 20 years of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security, IOM stands with every woman and girl on the move. We stand for real advancement and empowerment of women and girls everywhere. We stand for safe, orderly and regular migration for all women and girls. But as we celebrate, in these difficult times with the COVID-19 pandemic, we must hear the voices and realities of women and girls before, during and after migration. We must note the particular challenges that the pandemic has brought to their door. IOM will continue to step up its national, regional and international efforts with the Beijing roadmap firmly in hand, in line with the global compact for safe, orderly and regular migration and for the achievement of the 2030 agenda.
