This report takes stock of where we stand on key aspects of gender equality globally; tells us what is needed to monitor progress meaningfully; and provides wide-ranging recommendations for change.
Despite advances in girls’ enrolment in primary education, 15 million girls of primary-school age will never get the chance to learn to read or write compared to about 10 million boys. Gender equality is fundamental to delivering on the promise of the 2030 Agenda. As long as women are economically and socially disempowered in the world of work and in their homes and communities There will not be possibility of sustainability in development.
