Foreword

At the midpoint of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development the world is failing women and girls. None of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5 indicators are met or nearly met. Ninty-nine per cent of the world’s women and girls live in countries with substantial gender gaps and limited women’s empowerment. Regressive laws, violence, and reversals to women’s rights continue to exacerbate global gender inequality. We are going backwards.

Sustainable Development Goals:

Gender Equality

Reduced Inequalities

Partnerships for the Goals
