Abstract:
Women’s rights and gender equality advocates welcome the inclusion of a gender equality goal but are concerned that the report lacks an integrated gender perspective. They point out that critical inter-linkages, specifically in terms of women's rights and gender equality, are absent in the goals and stress that certain targets (energy, agriculture, transport, deforestation, food security) need to articulate these inter- linkages. Furthermore, groups feel that the report does not offer a transformational approach to issues such as growing feminization and intergenerational transfer of poverty. References to the role women play in the care economy and their unfair burden of work are barely mentioned, if at all, in the report. However, most groups acknowledge that there are improvements over the MDGs framework.
