The Beyond Beijing Committee (BBC) was formed as a loose network soon after the UN Fourth World conference on Women at Beijing, September 1995, registered as the network NGO organization in 1998.
The Committee was formed to create a platform and to mainstream rural and marginalized voice at the national and international levels. However, it soon grew into an independent organization and a national coalition of leading women's rights and gender-justice organizations working to advance the status of women in Nepal. Monitoring the Beijing Platform for Action (BPFA), this committee lobbies from the district level to the national and international level in consultation with members, affiliates, and other relevant organizations.
