Gender Equality and the Sustainable Development Goals in Asia and the Pacific Baseline and pathways for transformative change by 2030
Women, UN | October 2018
Abstract
The report focuses on four transformative policy areas. These areas were selected because they are acutely relevant to achieving sustainable development in the region, underscore the strongly integrated nature of the SDGs, and highlight the potential to catalyse change across the SDGs and in the lives of women and girls. They are: (i) Realizing sexual and reproductive health and rights (Chapter 3); (ii) Recognizing, reducing and redistributing unpaid care and domestic work (Chapter 4); (iii) Eliminating violence against women and girls (Chapter 5); and (iv) Empowering women to build climate resilience and reduce disaster risks (Chapter 6). A failure to address these four critical areas risks undermining the achievement of multiple SDGs, and indeed, the entire 2030 Agenda.
