A Platform For Action

Organizations around the globe are using our relay Watch Party events for re-igniting governments, civil society, businesses, and other stakeholders to fully implement the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.

Women’s equality and empowerment is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, but also integral to all dimensions of inclusive and sustainable development. In short, all the SDGs depend on the achievement of Goal 5. — UN WOMEN
