Gender Equality
Introduction
SDG 5 strives for gender equality and empowerment of all women and girls. It is predicated on ending all forms of discrimination against women and girls and elimination of all forms of violence against women and girls including harmful practices such as child, early and forced marriages. Women’s empowerment, as the Goal and its targets indicate, should include their participation in decision making processes and the provision of equal opportunities for leadership in all levels of decision making including political, economic and public life. On the other hand a critical component of women’s empowerment is the universal access to sexual and reproductive health for all women and girls. This particular facet of Goal 5 ensures the right to exercise autonomy over one’s body. On the economic front the goal urges governments to undertake reforms to give women equal rights to economic resources and opportunities.
