SDG5 Gender Equality

Discover how the Participatory Gender Audit methodology aligns with and supports the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 5: Gender Equality.

Understanding SDG 5

Sustainable Development Goal 5 aims to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. It recognizes that gender equality is not only a fundamental human right but also a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable world.

Despite progress in recent decades, women and girls continue to face discrimination and violence in every part of the world. Gender equality is essential to all areas of a healthy society, from reducing poverty to promoting health, education, protection, and the well-being of girls and boys.

SDG 5 addresses structural issues such as unfair social norms and attitudes, as well as developing progressive legal frameworks that promote equality between women and men.
