24 UN Sustainable Development Goal 5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls End all forms of discrimination Eliminate all forms of violence Eliminate all harmful practices, such as child, early and forced marriage and female genital mutilation. Recognize and value unpaid care and domestic work Ensure women s full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision making in political, economic and public life. Ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health Undertake reforms to give women equal rights to economic resources, as well as access to ownership and control over land and other forms of property, financial services, inheritance and natural resources Enhance the use of enabling technology, in particular information and communications technology, to promote the empowerment of women. Adopt and strengthen sound policies and enforceable legislation for the promotion of gender equality

25 Economic (dis)empowerment Only 47% of women globally have an account at a financial institution Women earn less than men globally (60-75%) Women more likely to work in informal employment Women bear responsibility for unpaid care work Women are responsible for water & fuel collection (1-4 hrs a day) Women work longer hours in developing countries (paid + unpaid) Women are not equally represented in trade unions Women make up 43% of agricultural labor, but own less than 20% of the land Limited access to seeds, fertilizers, credit, technical assistance And gender equality is a $12 trillion economic opportunity (McKinsey Global Institute) Chowdry Sangeeta, Global Fund for Women
