Equality between women and men can reduce poverty and save and improve lives. Experts know how to achieve gender equality: by providing an education for all children; equal access to reproductive health; the equal participation of women in civil, economic and political life; and the implementation of internationally-agreed laws protecting human rights. For tens of millions of women, these are issues of life and death. |
