Key Information

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a historic global compact to achieve gender equality by 2030. But we need more and better gender data, or else we will not be able to adequately monitor the implementation of the SDGs. UN Women’s strategy for change is Women Count, which seeks to bring about a radical shift in how gender statistics are used, created and promoted.
