In news– The United Nations (UN) Women and the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) have released the Gender Snapshot 2022 report recently.

Key highlights of the report-

Following are key findings of the report:

  • The report is titled ‘Progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG): The Gender Snapshot 2022’.
  • It highlighted that SDG 5, or achieving gender equality, will not be met by 2030 at the current pace of progress.
  • If current trends continue, more women and girls will live in extreme poverty by 2030 in sub-Saharan Africa than today.
  • Women’s rights in marriage and family include denying women their right to pass on their nationality to their children and to inherit. 

  • In 2021, about 38 per cent of female-headed households in war-affected areas experienced moderate or severe food insecurity, compared to 20 per cent of male-headed households.  
  • Globally, women lost an estimated USD 800 billion in income in 2020 due to the pandemic. Despite a rebound, their participation in labour markets is projected to be lower in 2022 than it was pre-pandemic (50.8 per cent, compared to 51.8 per cent in 2019).  
  • More women and girls are now forcibly displaced than ever before: some 44 million women and girls by the end of 2021.
  • Today, over 1.2 billion women and girls of reproductive age (15-49) live in countries and areas with some restrictions on access to safe abortion.

About UN Women-

  • UN Women is the United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women. 
  • A global champion for women and girls, UN Women was established to accelerate progress on meeting their needs worldwide.
  • UN Women supports UN Member States as they set global standards for achieving gender equality, and works with governments and civil society to design laws, policies, programmes and services needed to ensure that the standards are effectively implemented and truly benefit women and girls worldwide. 
  • It works globally to make the vision of the Sustainable Development Goals a reality for women and girls and stands behind women’s equal participation in all aspects of life, focusing on four strategic priorities:
    1. Women lead, participate in and benefit equally from governance systems.
    2. Women have income security, decent work and economic autonomy.
    3. All women and girls live a life free from all forms of violence .
    4. Women and girls contribute to and have greater influence in building sustainable peace and resilience, and benefit equally from the prevention of natural disasters and conflicts and humanitarian action.
  1. UN Women also coordinates and promotes the UN system’s work in advancing gender equality, and in all deliberations and agreements linked to the 2030 Agenda.
