Report “Progress on the Sustainable Development Goals: The gender snapshot 2023” (UN Women, UN DESA, 2023)

Summary/Abstract: In the year 2000, with the beginning of a new millennium, world leaders pledged to fight poverty, hunger, gender inequality and environmental degradation, improve access to education, health services and safe drinking water. The Millennium Declaration outlined 8 development goals. But because, in 2025, these objectives were only partially met at the deadline, and poverty had not been eradicated, on the occasion of the Development Summit, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted – a global action program that promotes balance between the three dimensions of sustainable development – economic, social and environmental. The agenda includes 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) through which the world’s states commit to eradicating extreme poverty, combating inequalities and protecting the planet, by 2030. This Report is an annual UN publication that takes a thorough X-ray of the state of gender equality globally as reflected in the analysis of the state of progress in achieving each of the 17 goals of the 2030 Agenda. Each of the other 16 objectives is closely related to objective 5 – gender equality, being able to positively or negatively influence its achievement. Emphasising the connection and interdependence between the SDGs, the authors of the Report demonstrate through the collected data how, according to the domino principle, the failure of one of the objectives can endanger the fulfilment of all the others. Without gender equality there can be neither progress nor prosperity. The Report analyses the objectives of sustainable development from the perspective of the progress made regarding gender equality. But this exercise can be replicated for each individual goal, to see how obstacles in the achievement of one goal can also affect the progress of the others. In order for the 2030 Agenda not to fail, to at least partially achieve the transformation of our world, it becomes urgent to develop laws and policies that advance both gender equality and each of the objectives of sustainable development. As the Report concludes, gender equality currently remains an increasingly difficult goal to achieve globally.
