The latest SDG 5 data indicate that the world is not on track to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls by 2030. The data for monitoring SDG 5 provide a wealth of information on the trajectory of progress on gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls, but many gaps remain. Only 55.6 per cent of data required to track progress on SDG 5 is available. Timeliness and frequency of data is also a concern. Important initiatives are ongoing to increase the collection of sex-disaggregated data at the country level, but more efforts are needed.
This event reviews the progress and setbacks towards achieving SDG 5 drawing from the latest Progress on the Sustainable Development Goals: The Gender Snapshot. It presents current evidence and data gaps on gender equality across all 17 goals from a gender perspective. It assesses the debates around what types of data are needed to identify and address gender inequalities. It showcases national and local efforts of monitoring SDG 5 to better respond to the complex and diverse realities of women and girls at grassroots levels. Lastly, it offers implications for research and practice on how to strengthen multi-stakeholder partnerships and data, monitoring, and accountability (SDG 17) to advance SDG 5 and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
