Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls

United Nations Goal no. 5 of the Sustainable Development Goals.

 

While the world has achieved progress towards gender equality and women’s empowerment under the Millennium Development Goals (including equal access to primary education between girls and boys), women and girls continue to suffer discrimination and violence in every part of the world.

Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. Unfortunately, at the current time, 1 in 5 women and girls between the ages of 15-49 have reported experiencing physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner within a 12-month period and 49 countries currently have no laws protecting women from domestic violence. Progress is occurring regarding harmful practices such as child marriage and FGM (Female Genital Mutilation), which has declined by 30% in the past decade, but there is still much work to be done to complete eliminate such practices.

Providing women and girls with equal access to education, health care, decent work, and representation in political and economic decision-making processes will fuel sustainable economies and benefit societies and humanity at large. Implementing new legal frameworks regarding female equality in the workplace and the eradication of harmful practices targeted at women is crucial to ending the gender-based discrimination prevalent in many countries around the world.

      My thoughts

    • With increasing knowledge and understanding how the climate is affected, and how we as individuals affect the climate, consciously and unconsciously, I struggle daily to change my behavior for reduce my CO2 footprint.
      The path I have chosen and believe in, is the need to reduce the use of things that need energy, directly or indirectly, Accordingly I need to choose what I can do and buy.
      With an increasing minimalist thinking, my thoughts are often, what do we really need?
