Challenges and achievements in the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals for women and girls 2014, para. 12
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The Commission reaffirms that gender equality, the empowerment of women and girls and enjoyment of their human rights and the eradication of poverty are essential to economic and social development, including the achievement of all the Millennium Development Goals. The Commission notes the universal context of gender equality and recognizes that almost 15 years after the Millennium Development Goals were launched, no country has achieved equality for women and girls and significant levels of inequality between women and men persist, although the Goals are important in efforts to eradicate poverty and of key importance to the international community. The Commission reaffirms the vital role of women as agents of development and recognizes that gender equality and the empowerment of women must be achieved to realize the unfinished business of the Goals and accelerate sustainable development beyond 2015.
