Accelerating the United Nation's 2030 Global Agenda: Why Prioritization of the Gender Goal is essential
The implementation of the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is too slow and, at the current rate, the 169 targets will not be met by 2030. One cross-cutting SDG is Goal 5:
Gender equality and empowerment of all women and girls. In this article for
Global Policy, Paula Hepp, Claire Somerville and Bettina Borisch make the case that placing the gender equality goal (SDG5 and its 9 targets) together with 54 gender indicators across all goals as the priority focus of the 2030 agenda, is the best way to ensure measurable achievements on all five pillars of the global commitment to People, Planet, Peace, Prosperity and Partnerships.
