Violence against women and girls remains the most widespread and pervasive human rights violation worldwide, affecting more than an estimated 1 in 3 women. United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres joined ECLAC staff in raising awareness of this human rights violation during his visit to Chile.
With only 15 per cent of SDG targets being on track to be achieved by 2030 globally, there was a strong sense of urgency to deliver on the promise that was made in 2015 at the SDG Summit this year.
Faced with the urgency of addressing health inequalities, transforming healthcare systems, and achieving universality, on July 19th, 2023, countries from the region gathered with international experts and reflected on primary health care as the best strategy to tackle current challenges.
