Gender equality is not just a fundamental human right, but core value and necessary foundation for peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable society. Women and girls remain disadvantaged and have limited access to rights or opportunities as men or boys. UNDP, in its role as the SDGs’ integrator, is positioned to address gender inequality and promote women empowerment. Gender equality and social inclusion is the primarily commitment of UNDP, and aspiration in every initiative, project and programme implemented and managed by UNDP. UNDP leverage partnerships with national and local stakeholders in all sectors to address gender inequality, gender-based violence, discrimination, stigma and stereotypes in all development areas.
