Gender inequality is a barrier to both social cohesion and economic prosperity. Despite some progress over the years, the marked unfairness of the gap in status, pay and opportunity which defines relationships between men and women, girls and boys, continues to represent a significant fracture in our society. There has been no real shift in power which – at home, in the workplace and in public life – lies firmly in male hands.
In order to emphasise the importance of tackling oppressive gender norms wherever they exist, this report examines the impact of gender inequality across three key sectors (digital economy, food security & agriculture and education & work) vital to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 and prominent in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, to show not only the impact of these harmful beliefs and stereotypes, but how far reaching they are across all sectors.
