Mukunda Bogati: Nepali freelance photojournalistFor the past six years I have been striving persistently to capture images that would fascinate me and more importantly viewers.

A US-based leading photo agency, ZUMA PRESS, provided me with an opportunity by creating a platform to expose my photographic works to some of the leading media. It has come as a great source of inspiration in my photographic endeavour.

To Empower Women: The Fourth U.N. Conference on WomenWith Wangari Mathai of Kenya, winner of the 2005 Nobel Prize for environment.

From the 1995 United Nations 4th World Conference on Women in Beijing, China, a global movement led by women is captured on video. In Huairou, China, women from Kenya, Zimbabwe, Germany, Papua New Guinea, Iran, the Philippines, Israel, the Solomon Islands, China, and the United States speak out. They tell of actions they are taking to address the problems of women in their countries and worldwide.

The Beijing Conference produced the strongest consensus on women's equality, empowerment and justice ever endorsed by governments. Signed by 189 nations, the Beijing Declaration is a vision of the world we all want to live in. The Platform for Action is the practical specific and comprehensive directive for bringing it about.

Five planks from the platform--poverty, education, human rights, economics and armed conflict--frame the video. Narrated by feminist Bella Abzug, the video is a glimpse of a future where all people are respected. Videoed at the Nongovernmental Forum in Huairou, China.

Videographer: Margot Smith On-line editors: Steve Chandler, Shirley Harlan Production: Bob Purdy, Janet Linney, Patricia James.
