introduction

Why does this goal exist?

-I would rather be a rebel than a slave.- Emmeline Pankhurst

But we're late: at the progress' rate of 2023, it would take an estimated 300 years to end child marriage, 286 years to close gaps in legal protection and remove discriminatory laws, 140 years for women to be represented equally in positions of power and leadership in the workplace, and 47 years to achieve equal representation in national parliaments - UN's data.

Because women and girls represent half of the world’s population thus half of its potential. So, unless we close the gender gap and ensure equal opportunities for all, lots of this potential will remain unused, leading to a an unsustainable development. Some symptoms of this worldwide problems are, for example, sexual violence and exploitation, unequal division of unpaid care and domestic work, discrimination in public office.

Eliminate all harmful practices, such as child, early and forced marriage and female genital mutilation.

Undertake reforms to give women equal rights to economic resources, as well as access to ownership and control over land and other forms of property, financial services, inheritance and natural resources, in accordance with national laws.

Enhance the use of enabling technology, in particular information and communications technology, to promote the empowerment of women.

We aren't on track to get to the target according to the Sustainable Development Goals Report 2025

Things you can do

What can we do?

Find female leaders.

Share the workload at home.

Stand up against nuisances.

Be aware of stereotypes.

There’s a lot we can learn from women in positions of authority.

Who said women have to do all household chores? By sharing them both will have more free time.

You can't just ignore an injustice, if you see one you should immediatly stop it.

They are a form of verbal violence: little by little they create fertile soil for inequalities.
