Equality for women and girls moves even further out of reach

Gender inequalities are being exacerbated worldwide, caused by the overlapping impacts of COVID-19, rising economic instability, conflict and increasing food insecurity. World Economic Forum projections highlight that at the current rate of progress, it will take 132 years – or the equivalent of four generations – to achieve global gender parity. This is an increase of one generation compared to the pre-pandemic projections.
