Transforming economies, realizing rights

Christina Johnson (ed.)

Twenty years after the landmark Fourth World
Conference on Women in Beijing, and at a time
when the global community is defining the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the
post-2015 era, the global consensus on the need to
achieve gender equality seems stronger than ever
before.1
Empowering women and girls is among the
goals aspired to by all, from grassroots organizations,
trade unions and corporations, to Member States
and intergovernmental bodies. But how far has this
consensus been translated into tangible progress on
the ground, and what more is needed to bridge the
gaps between rhetoric and reality?
Drawing on promising experiences from around the
world, this Report proposes a comprehensive agenda
for key policy actors— including gender equality
advocates, national governments and international
agencies—to make human rights a lived reality for all
women and girls.
