Gender Equality

United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5: Gender Equality

>Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.

Why do we have this goal? The United Nations official website globalgoals.org explains it in the following way:

>Gender bias is undermining our social fabric and devalues all of us. It is not just a human rights issue; it is a tremendous waste of the world’s human potential. By denying women equal rights, we deny half the population a chance to live life at its fullest. Political, economic and social equality for women will benefit all the world’s citizens. Together we can eradicate prejudice and work for equal rights and respect for all.

How might we achieve this goal? The United Nations has set 7 targets for this goal. Scroll down the website to learn more about what we can do to achieve this goal!
