What does #GenderEquality mean as a goal?
We have a couple of targets that we are trying to hit by 2030, the world’s major deadline. Meaning, if we hit them, we achieve the overall goal.
1.) No discrimination based on gender.
End all forms of discrimination against all women and girls everywhere.
2.) End violence against women.
Eliminate all forms of violence against all women and girls in the public and private spheres, including trafficking and sexual and other types of exploitation.
3.) Equal access to leadership positions for women.
Ensure women’s full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making in political, economic and public life.
Every Contribution Counts
Stand up for what you believe in by doing something about it. From simple daily actions to a volunteering experience, no contribution is too small.
