In Focus: International Day of Women and Girls in ScienceIn Focus: International Day of Women and Girls in Science
As the world reckons with the fallout of COVID-19, growing inequality and accelerating climate disasters, the need for a shared plan to recover and transform economies and societies has never been clearer. UN Women’s new flagship report “Beyond COVID-19: A Feminist Plan for Sustainability and Social Justice” provides a roadmap for addressing these challenges while recovering the ground that’s been lost on gender equality and women’s rights.
We focus on issues that unlock progress on gender equality.
