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.
