Empowering Gender Equality and Sustainable Development Goals

Empowering Gender Equality and Sustainable Development Goals
November 20-22, 2024
Program Coordinator: Dr. Varsha Tanu

Background

Gender equality and inclusiveness are a cross-cutting theme across the Sustainable Development Goals. Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable world because women and girls represent half of the world’s population and, therefore, also account for half of its potential. However, gender inequality persists everywhere and stagnates global social progress. There has been progress over the last decades, but the world is not completely on track to achieve gender equality by 2030. Women generally have less control over resources and reduced decision-making capacities due to fewer educational exposure and economic opportunities. Development initiatives have different experiences, which may affect male and female beneficiaries in vastly different manners because of prevalent inequalities.
On average, women in the labour market still earn 23 per cent less than men globally, and women spend about three times as many hours in unpaid domestic and care work as men. Sexual violence, discrimination, and exploitation all remain huge barriers. Worldwide, nearly half of married women lack decision-making power over their sexual and reproductive health and rights. Nearly 35 per cent of women between 15-49 years of age have experienced physical and/ or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence. This type of violence doesn’t just harm individual women and girls; it also undermines their overall quality of life and hinders their capacities for active involvement in society. There is enough evidence that gender inequalities do affect the ability to achieve broad-based economic growth and strong communities. Therefore, gender analysis serves as a tool to assess and integrate gender dynamics into development performances.
With this background, IIHMR University, Jaipur, has developed a Management Development Programme on Empowering Gender Equality and Sustainable Development Goals for key stakeholders.
