The 2030 Agenda consists of 17 global sustainable development goals covering three categories – economic, social and environmental. And the fifth of the SDGs is about achieving gender equality by the year 2030.

“Halfway to the end point of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the world is failing to achieve gender equality, making it an increasingly distant goal.
