Examples of UN SDG 5: Gender Equality in Action

SDG 5 seeks to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. Gender inequality remains a significant barrier to social, economic, and political progress. This goal focuses on eliminating discrimination, violence, and harmful practices against women and girls, ensuring equal participation in leadership and decision-making, and ensuring equal access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. By empowering women and girls, SDG 5 works to create a world where everyone, regardless of gender, can contribute equally to society and thrive in all areas of life.
