About Saajhi Samajh 12

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by world leaders in 2015, embody a roadmap for progress that is sustainable and leaves no one behind. Achieving gender equality and women’s empowerment is integral to each of the 17 goals.

Empowering women in the economy and closing gaps in workforce participation, rights to economic resources and unpaid care responsibilities are central to achieving Sustainability Development Goal 5, as gender equality cuts across ten additional goals with gender-specific benchmarks which further reinforces the interconnection between women empowerment and progress.
