By many measures, 2015 marks a watershed
year in the international communitys efforts to advance
gender equality. In September, with the adoption of the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), UN Member States
committed to a renewed and more ambitious framework for
development. This agenda, with a deadline of 2030,
emphasizes inclusion not just as an end in and of itself but
as critical to development effectiveness. At the center of
this agenda is the achievement of gender equality and
empowerment of all women and girls (SDG 5). In addition to
governments, the private sector is increasingly committed to
reducing gaps between men and women not just because it is
the right thing to do, but because it makes business sense.
Gender equality is also central to the World Bank Group’s
own goals of ending extreme poverty and boosting shared
prosperity in a sustainable manner. No society can develop
sustainably without transforming the distribution of
opportunities, resources and choices for males and females
so that they have equal power to shape their own lives and
contribute to their families, communities, and countries.
Promoting gender equality is smart development policy. |
