SDG 5: GENDER EQUALITY

Women and girls, men and boys should be equal everywhere in the world in order to achieve a sustainable, peaceful and prosperous world. Exploitation, forced marriage, genital mutilation, etc. should be ended. Women should also have a say in decision-making, equal opportunities to leadership roles, land ownership, economic resources and equal pay as men. Unpaid care and domestic work should be shared more fairly within the family and supported by public services.
