Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has set 17 ambitious Sustainable Development Goals which all countries have committed to implement in an integrated and inclusive manner. The 2030 Agenda aims to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls (SDG 5) through specific targets on eliminating gender based elimination, violence, harmful practices, and on ensuring that women and girls’ rights in all areas are upheld.

The 2030 Agenda recognizes the important role of civil society including Major Groups such as the Women’s Major Group. The Women’s Major Group for the 2030 Agenda, facilitates the participation of women’s rights and feminist organizations and movements in the policy process, linking the global to the national process, as well as ensuring coherent with the other UN women’s rights and other related processes. The Women’s Major Group is currently facilitated by 8 elected Organizing Partners (OPs).

The Women’s Major Group 2030, works through active working groups to provide input to the policy processes at all levels, and to ensure coherence and cooperate with the Women’s constituencies in other policy processes.
