A note from the Secretary-General

Over the past year, we have seen women’s movements exert their influence as powerful agents of change. We are also increasingly seeing that investing in women is the most effective way to sustain peace and lift communities, companies and countries. It is clear that women’s participation makes peace agreements stronger, societies more resilient and economies more vigorous. We must therefore ensure that women and girls are centrally involved in all our efforts to realize the Sustainable Development Goals.

Sustainable Development Goals:

Gender Equality

Reduced Inequalities
