Goal 5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls

SDG 5 grande en

Gender inequality persists worldwide, depriving women and girls of their basic rights and opportunities. It has been repeatedly proven that empowering women and girls has a multiplier effect and helps drive up economic growth and development. Achieving gender equality will require greater efforts, including legal frameworks, to counter deeply rooted gender-based discrimination that often results from patriarchal attitudes and related social norms.

Interaction with SDG 3

Fighting gender inequities, including violence against women, will help achieve health targets.
