End Discrimination Against Women and Girls: Empowering All
Eradicating Discrimination for a Just and Equitable Society
Discrimination against women and girls persists globally, hindering their access to fundamental rights, opportunities, and dignity. To address this injustice and create a more just and equitable society, we must end all forms of discrimination against women and girls everywhere.
Non-Discrimination Laws: A Critical First Step
In 2022, a sobering study revealed that 55 out of 120 surveyed countries lacked non-discrimination laws explicitly prohibiting direct and indirect discrimination against women. Establishing and enforcing robust non-discrimination laws are essential to create a level playing field for women and girls, ensuring they are treated fairly and without prejudice.
Equal Participation and Leadership
Women's full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels are crucial for promoting gender equality. By ensuring that women have a voice in decision-making, we can create policies and initiatives that truly address their needs and concerns.
Universal Access to Reproductive Rights and Health
Access to reproductive rights and health services is fundamental to women's empowerment. This includes the right to choose whether, when, and with whom to have children, as well as access to safe and affordable contraception, abortion, and maternal healthcare. Empowering women to make informed choices about their bodies and their lives is essential for their well-being and progress.
Achieving Gender Equality
Ending discrimination against women and girls is at the heart of achieving gender equality. By addressing the barriers they face, we can create a society where all individuals have the opportunity to reach their full potential regardless of their gender.
