Gender equality is not only a matter of justice – it is an imperative for reaching lasting peace, stability, and the advancement of our societies.

Annika Ben David

Achieving gender equality is a movement – not a moment. It’s not women who need to be fixed. It’s not people that need to be fixed.

Director, European Institute for Gender Equality

Without true gender equality in everything that the United Nations is, we cannot hope to promote any dimension of equality in the world we serve.

We need bold, urgent action to secure a global clean energy transition that leaves no one behind as we work towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal 7.

Gender equality is not just a goal; it's a fundamental principle that should seamlessly integrate into every program and initiative. It adds immense value and should be a natural requirement, not a question.
