ACHIEVE GENDER EQUALITY AND EMPOWER ALL WOMEN AND GIRLS.
Gender bias is undermining our social fabric and devalues all of us. It is not just a human rights issue; it is a tremendous waste of the world’s human potential. By denying women equal rights, we deny half the population a chance to live life at its fullest. Political, economic and social equality for women will benefit all the world’s citizens. Together we can eradicate prejudice and work for equal rights and respect for all.
THE TARGETS
Everyone can help to make sure that we meet the Global Goals. Use these nine targets to create action for gender equality.
Eliminate all forms of violence against all women and girls in the public and private spheres, including trafficking and sexual and other types of exploitation.
Adopt and strengthen sound policies and enforceable legislation for the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls at all levels
Enhance the use of enabling technology, in particular information and communications technology, to promote the empowerment of women.
