Gender Equality 性別平權

Ending all discrimination against women and girls is not only a basic human right, it’s crucial for sustainable future; it’s proven that empowering women and girls helps economic growth and development.

UNDP has made gender equality central to its work and we’ve seen remarkable progress in the past 20 years. There are more girls in school now compared to 15 years ago, and most regions have reached gender parity in primary education.

But although there are more women than ever in the labor market, there are still large inequalities in some regions, with women systematically denied the same work rights as men. Sexual violence and exploitation, the unequal division of unpaid care and domestic work, and discrimination in public office all remain huge barriers. Climate change and disasters continue to have a disproportionate effect on women and children, as do conflict and migration.

It is vital to give women equal rights land and property, sexual and reproductive health, and to technology and the internet. Today there are more women in public office than ever before, but encouraging more women leaders will help achieve greater gender equality.

結束對婦女和女童的一切歧視不僅是一項基本人權，而且對可持續的未來至關重要；事實證明，賦予婦女和女童權力有助於經濟增長和發展。

聯合國開發計劃署將性別平等作為其工作的核心，在過去的20年裡，我們看到了顯著的進步。與15年前相比，現在有更多的女孩在學校讀書，大多數地區的小學教育已經達到了性別平等。

但是，儘管在勞動力市場上的婦女比以往任何時候都多，但在一些地區仍然存在巨大的不平等，婦女被系統地剝奪了與男性相同的工作權利。性暴力和剝削、無償護理和家務勞動的不平等分工，以及公職方面的歧視，都仍然是巨大的障礙。氣候變化和災害繼續對婦女和兒童產生不成比例的影響，衝突和移民也是如此。

賦予婦女在土地和財產、性健康和生殖健康以及技術和互聯網方面的平等權利至關重要。今天，擔任公職的婦女比以往任何時候都多，但鼓勵更多的女性領導人將有助於實現更大的性別平等。
