"Women and girls represent half of the world’s population and therefore also half of its potential. But, today gender inequality persists everywhere and stagnates social progress."—United Nations (un.org)
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals—adopted by all United Nations member states—serve as a blueprint to protect the planet and improve the lives of all people, with no one left behind.
Sustainable Development Goal or SDG 5 outlines established targets to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.
The United Nations established targets for achieving and measuring progress towards SDG 5 including:
End all forms of discrimination against all women and girls everywhere
Ensure women’s full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision making in political, economic and public life
Enhance the use of enabling technology, in particular information and communications technology, to promote the empowerment of women
