SDG5 - Gender Equality
Technology in its various forms, including ICTs, continues to redefine and revolutionize the way we all live and work. Harnessing this technology to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment is not only vital for women and girls, but critical throughout the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The link between technology and women’s rights is clearly reflected in SDG 5 on gender equality and the empowerment of women, which includes a specific target on utilizing technology and ICTs to realize women’s and girls’ empowerment.

Gender equality is key to ensuring that no one is left behind, and is intrinsic to the success of each and every SDG.
