In addressing gender inequality in the context of sustainable development, it is important to be inclusive and ensure that no woman or girl is denied access to education, healthcare, employment, human rights, freedom of expression and the right to land and to livelihoods because of cultural, social and religious norms and beliefs. Adolescent girls, young women, elderly women, rural women, women and girls with disabilities, women living with HIV/AIDs, lesbians, bisexuals, trans and intersex women are disproportionately impacted.
