New Gender and MDGs Progress Fact
Women disproportionately suffer from hunger, disease, environmental degradation and impoverishment. As a result, poverty remains stubbornly “feminized”, with women accounting for a vast percentage of the world’s absolute poor. On the occasion of International Women’s Day, this publication from the Millennium Campaign highlights the interconnectedness of women’s issues to all of the Millennium Development Goals.
The Millennium Declaration set 2015 as the target date for achieving most of the Goals. At 'Halftime', data is giving an indication of progress during the first third of this 15-year period. The latest UN progress report states that across all the regions no one goal is on track. However, there is progress being made on all the goals. The results are predictably uneven but there has been some visible and widespread gains. Encouragingly, the report suggests that some progress is being made even in those regions where the challenges are greatest demonstrating success is possible, but also indicating the MDGs will be attained only if concerted additional action is taken immediately and sustained until 2015.
