SDG 5
Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but the necessary condition for ensuring a prosperous, sustainable and peaceful world.
While the world has made some progress in gender equality and women’s empowerment through the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, women and girls continue to face discrimination and violence in every part of the world.
Ensuring women and girls have equal access to education, medical care, decent work, as well as representation in decision-making, political and economic processes, will promote sustainable economies, which will benefit societies and humanity as a whole.
