Women represent over 50% of the world population, and are the majority of the poor, therefore women’s human rights and gender equality should be at the core of the SDG post2015 agenda. We call on governments to recognize therefore that goal 5 on gender/women will need more targets than other goals.
We also support the intervention by Benin stating that 17 goals is not necessarily ‘too much’ seen the immense task of this global agenda.
