Goals 5: Gender Equality Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development The Agenda 2030 is a program of action for people, the planet, and prosperity, signed in September 2015 by the governments of the 193 UN member countries. It presents 17 goals for sustainable development in a program of action for a total of 169 targets. Goal 5: Gender Equality The objective of Goal 5 is to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls in economic development, the elimination of violence against women and girls, and equal rights. Gender equality is a theme that has seen some successes in recent decades. However, it remains a permanent challenge for countries worldwide. Despite improvements, full gender equality remains unreached. Women must be represented fairly in pandemic-related leadership roles. Women represent 25% in national parliaments (2020) and 36% in local government (2020). Women are on the front lines of fighting the coronavirus, accounting for 70% of health and social workers. Lockdowns are increasing the risk of violence against women and girls, with physical and sexual cases of domestic violence increasing by 30% in some countries. Women bear additional household burdens during the pandemic, with women already spending about three times as many hours in unpaid domestic and care work as men. Gender Equality Before and During COVID-19 Despite the progress made, women and girls continue to suffer discrimination and acts of violence worldwide. Gender disparities are one of the major obstacles to sustainable development, economic growth, and the fight against poverty. Before COVID-19, fewer girls were forced into early marriage, and more women were in leadership roles. However, the pandemic has had implications for gender equality, with lockdowns increasing the risk of violence against women and girls. The psychological impact of the pandemic has also affected women disproportionately. Conclusion Gender equality is a fundamental human right and a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable world. Achieving gender equality requires the collective efforts of governments, civil society, and individuals worldwide.
