The 2024 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Progress Report on gender equality under SDG 5 highlights a slow progress, with no indicators fully achieved just six years from the 2030 deadline. Persistent gender inequality continues to cost the global economy $10 trillion annually, while extreme poverty among women could take 137 years to eradicate. Gender parity in leadership and political representation may not be reached until 2063, and significant gaps remain in addressing gender-based violence, sexual and reproductive health, and equal rights. With climate change and economic inequality disproportionately affecting women and other marginalized groups, there is an urgent need for inclusive radical actions and targeted investments.
This training programme aims to address these critical gaps by equipping participants with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to promote gender-responsive policies, programs, projects and leadership. By focusing on economic empowerment, political representation, gender-based violence, climate action, and sexual and reproductive health, the program will empower stakeholders to accelerate progress toward a more inclusive, equal and sustainable world.
