SDG 5 - Gender Equality

The sub-module aims to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. Addressing

cases of harassment and discrimination. Ensuring equal rights, recognition and values in all areas
of life, i.e. care, employment, lifestyle, decision-making, political and economic life, etc. Above all,
it is necessary to adopt gender-sensitive policies and legislation to promote gender equality and
eliminate gender discrimination.

● Facts about gender equality
• “Globally, 750 million women and girls were married before the age of 18 and at least
200 million women and girls in 30 countries have undergone FGM. In 18 countries,

husbands can legally prevent their wives from working; in 39 countries, daughters
and sons do not have equal inheritance rights; and 49 countries lack laws protecting
women from domestic violence. (UN, 2022) Some 1 in 20 girls between the ages of
15 and 19 – around 13 million globally – have experienced forced sex in their
lifetimes.” (UNICEF, 2022)

• “While women have made important inroads into political office across the world, their
representation in national parliaments at 23.7 per cent is still far from parity.” (UN,
2022)
• “Worldwide, nearly 1 in 4 girls between the ages of 15 and 19 are neither employed
nor in education or training – compared to 1 in 10 boys”. (UNICEF, 2022)
