Achieving Gender
Equality: A Journey
Worth Taking
Before moving on to the main part,
Let’s know about it’s birth and why was
it formed
SDG Goal , No. 5 “Gender Equality “ was established in 2015 By UN AKA
United Nation.
👭
It’s agenda is to “Achieve gender equality and empowerment all women and
girls .
Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary
foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world.
Date for solving this problem was till 2030, even There has been progress
over the last Septennial, but the world is not on track to achieve gender
equality by 2030. It would surely take more then it.
Big problems healing without gender equality :-
India will not fully develop unless both girls and boys are equally supported
to reach their full potential.
There are risks, violations and blame girls face just because they are girls.
Most of these risks are directly linked to the economic, political, social and
cultural disadvantages girls deal with in their daily lives. This becomes acute
during crisis and disasters.
With the prevalence of gender discrimination, and social norms and
practices, girls become exposed to the possibility of child marriage, teenage
pregnancy, child domestic work, poor education and health, sexual abuse,
exploitation and violence. Many of these manifestations will not change
unless girls are valued more.
FEW BEST WAYS TO
PROMOTE GENDER EQUALITY
&
Solve these kind of
problems
❖ SHARE HOUSEHOLD CHORES AND CHILDCARE EQUALLY
Household chores and children’s care are every adult’s
responsibility. Ask yourself if there is an equal division of labor in
your home. The work of caring for children is still done mainly by
women in much of the world. A report released by the UN in
2015 points out that women from developing countries do over three
hours more of daily unpaid work (household chores and childcare)
than men, while in developed countries, they do, on average, two
hours more.
According to studies, the overload of household chores can increase
women’s chances of mental illnesses, besides depressing their
productivity at work, consequently affecting their salaries.
❖ WATCH FOR SIGNS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Get some help and support if you know a friend or acquaintance is suffering from domestic
violence or other abuse. This type of violence is not restricted to physical aggression.
Verbal attacks (curses and threats) and psychological abuse (controlling, manipulative and
intimidating behavior) also affect women. Often, all these things occur together. If you
experience domestic violence, be aware that you are not alone. Report it!
The same UN report quoted above points out that in most countries with data available,
less than 40 percent of women who experience violence seek help of any kind. Among
those who do, most seek out family and friends, and few use formal institutions and
mechanisms, such as police and health services. Less than 10 percent of women went to
the police after suffering violence.
❖ SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND RACISM: ZERO
TOLERANCE
Employees must have a safe channel to report
bullying, sexual harassment and racism without
being exposed or dismissed. Proven cases
should be punished. In addition, April Reign
explains that it is important to note “how people
who are most vulnerable are represented” on the
committee that investigates the allegations.
❖ HELP WOMEN TO GAIN POWER
According to 2017 data from UN Women, only 17 countries have
female heads of state and/or government. The overall average of
women in legislative bodies is only 23.4 percent. Find out who
the female candidates are, especially women from
underrepresented communities.
In addition to politics, consider ways to support the promotion of
women and LGBTQI in the arts, sciences, sports, and other fields.
❖ REJECT CHAUVINIST AND RACIST ATTITUDES
Do not make comments that ridicule, demean or
humiliate women, black people, indigenous
people, members of the LGBTQI community or
any other historically marginalized groups. And
don’t keep quiet if you hear such comments. Talk
to your colleagues, friends and family frankly
and tell them to stop with the chauvinist, racist,
homophobic and transphobic insults.

Gender Equality: Achieving
the SDG Goals
Gender equality is essential for the
achievement of the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDG) and the
realization of human rights for all.
It is a key factor in reducing
poverty and promoting economic
growth, and it is also essential for
improving health and well-being
for all people.
The Impact of Gender Inequality
Gender inequality is a global issue that affects people of all
ages, backgrounds, and cultures. It has a serious impact on
economic growth, health, and education.
It also affects access to resources, opportunities, and
decision-making power, with women and girls
disproportionately affected.
The Benefits of Gender
Equality
Gender equality brings a range of
benefits for individuals and society,
including economic growth, improved
health, and increased access to
education and resources.
It also brings greater political and social
participation, as well as greater respect
for human rights.
The Role of Governments and
Others
Governments, civil society, and the private
sector have a key role to play in achieving
gender equality. Governments should ensure
that laws and policies promote gender equality
and respect human rights.
Civil society and the private sector should also
ensure that their practices are gender-
responsive, and that they are actively working
to promote gender equality and empower
women and girls.
The Role of Education
Education is a key factor in achieving
gender equality. It helps to reduce
gender stereotypes and promote
gender-sensitive attitudes and
behaviors.
It also provides girls and women
with the knowledge and skills they
need to access resources, make
decisions, and participate in the
economy and society.
Conclusion: Achieving
Gender Equality
Gender equality is essential for
the achievement of the
Sustainable Development Goals
and the realization of human
rights for all. Governments, civil
society, and the private sector
have a key role to play in
achieving gender equality, as
does education.
By working together to promote
gender equality, we can ensure
that everyone has the
opportunity to live a life of
dignity and respect.
