Five reasons we should care about #SDG5: Gender equality

Girls running and playing in Timor Leste
by CARE Australia - July 16, 2015

Did you know that the fifth proposed Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) aims to achieve gender equality? As an organisation with a special focus on women and girls it’s safe to say we’re more than a little excited.

Ask Australia’s Foreign Minister Julie Bishop to continue to back a standalone gender equality goal, sign our petition today.

Unsure of what this could mean? Here are five great reasons why we should all get behind the fifth suggested SDG:

With world leaders – including Australia’s – currently discussing these proposed SDGs, we believe this is a once-in-a-generation chance to get behind the empowerment of women and girls everywhere.

If you would like to add your voice to our call for Australia’s Foreign Minister Julie Bishop to continue to back a standalone SDG for gender equality, you can sign our Change.org petition today.
