Gender
La igualdad de género implica la garantía de igualdad de derechos entre mujeres y hombres tanto en normas y leyes (igualdad formal), como en oportunidades y resultados (igualdad sustantiva). La igualdad de género, la autonomía de las mujeres y una sociedad del cuidado son una condición, un camino y un catalizador para el desarrollo sostenible.
Activities
Workshop on Gender Statistics and Analysis
The importance of gender-responsive policy making and implementation cannot be over-emphasized. Gender-responsive policies represent a set of tools for ensuring equity and contribute to promoting the Leave No One Behind promise of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. An essential input in gender-responsive policy formulation is quality, sex-disaggregated data. Ensuring that everyone who handles, analyzes, utilizes or disseminates data has the requisite capacity in gender statistics is therefore crucial to effective policy making.
