A bit too slow

Despite decades of advocacy and policy efforts, gender equality is advancing at a painfully slow pace. Current projections indicate that achieving global gender parity could take over 130 years.

To accelerate progress, we must strengthen legal protections for women, increase their representation in leadership positions, address the gender pay gap, and invest in comprehensive initiatives aimed at preventing violence against women. Urgent action is essential to realize the potential benefits of gender equality for society as a whole.
