About the SDGs at UN Women

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 to end poverty, reduce inequality and build more peaceful, prosperous societies by 2030.  


Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. Therefore, achieving gender equality and women’s empowerment is integral to the entire 2030 Agenda. While SDG 5 specifically targets gender equality, 10 additional goals include gender-specific benchmarks, acknowledging the interconnections between women’s empowerment and a better future for all.
