Sustainable Development Goal #5 Gender Equality
Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
Empowering women and girls requires stronger policies and legislation to reframe social norms derived from persistent patriarchal attitudes. Gender-based discrimination exists deeply within the fabric of society. Achieving gender equality for women and girls demands equal access to the same basic rights as males. Sustainable development requires inclusion and representation of women in political and economic decision-making.

Why It Matters


Society benefits from women’s participation in social development and economic initiatives. Removing barriers to education allows women and girls to develop skill-based knowledge and find jobs. Women’s income is impacted by unpaid domestic chores that reduce their earning potential and widen the gender gap. Investments in education achieve positive rates of return in earning power for women.
