Building an Inclusive Society: The Future of Gender Equality
With only four years remaining until the deadline for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), progress on Goal 5, “Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls,” is significantly behind. According to the World Economic Forum’s report “Global Gender Gap Index 2025,” at the current pace, it is estimated that closing the global gender gap will take 123 years. This seminar will examine the current situation and challenges of gender equality around the world, engage in discussions on realizing an inclusive society, and introduce UN Women’s initiatives.
