dc.description.abstract | Achieving gender equality and empowering women and girls must be a central
ambition of a post-2015 agenda. Although some progress has been made
under the current Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) framework, one in
three women are still affected by gender-based violence and around 800
women die every day as a result of childbirth and other pregnancy-related
complications. In order to address the persistent and interlinked barriers and
challenges that women continue to face in their everyday lives a new
development framework must promote gender equality as a human right. It
must also seek to address the underlying structural causes of gender inequality
by incorporating gender-specific targets across all goals. | en_GB |
