A/HRC/53/39 61. It is imperative to analyse the ways in which overlapping inequalities drive and amplify ecological, social, political and economic crises and to ensure that povertyeradication policies are directed towards the transformation of unequal power relations through the negotiation of a new human rights-based feminist eco-social consensus. Given the rapidly approaching deadline for the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and noting the slow rate of progress on Sustainable Development Goals 1, 5 and 10, it is essential to reiterate the centrality of women’s and girls’ human rights and gender equality to processes of poverty eradication and to combating inequalities both within and between nations.
