The “Progress on the Sustainable Development Goals: The Gender Snapshot 2025” report, prepared by UN Women and UN DESA, is now published!
If current trends continue, by 2030, 351 million women and girls will still be living in extreme poverty. This means missing several Sustainable Development Goals—especially Goal 5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.
This outcome is not inevitable; it reflects political choices, systemic neglect, and stalled investments.
But there is a path forward. Investing in just one targeted action to close the gender digital divide could directly impact 343 million women and girls, lift 30 million out of poverty, and generate a USD 1.5 trillion boost to global GDP by 2030.
This report, which draws on over 100 data sources, tracks progress on gender equality across the 17 SDGs.
One truth stands out: Gender equality is not an ideology—it is the foundation of peace, development, and human rights.
