Podcast: Gender and the Sustainable Development Goals: Are the SDGs Good News for Women?

7 months ago

Agenda 2030 is ambitious in its vision, "transforming our world", broad in its 17 goals and 169 targets, and universal in its application to all countries. Women's rights are explicit in the preamble, and in Goal 5 "Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls", and are mainstreamed in several other goals. In this event, part of the UNRISD Seminar Series, experts from the UN and academia reflect on the SDGs’ potential, strengths and weaknesses from a gender perspective, and the challenges of their implementation. This was the Geneva launch of the open access Oxfam journal Gender & Development devoted to the Sustainable Development Goals, co-edited by Valeria Esquivel and Caroline Sweetman.
