Vision-setting report 2016, para. 39
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development provides a fresh opportunity to accelerate progress in achieving gender equality and empowerment of women and girls, and in eliminating violence against women. Indeed, the formulation of Goal 5 on gender equality provides a women's perspective to the entire Agenda, which also provides that substantive gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls should be achieved by the elimination of all forms of discriminations and violence against women and girls in the public and private spheres. The Special Rapporteur stands ready not only to monitor progress but also to give guidance to States and other stakeholders in implementing Goal 5.
