Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women
Introduction
Poverty has a woman´s face. Global prosperity and peace will only be achieved once all the world´s people are empowered to order their own lives and provide for themselves and their families. Societies where women are more equal stand a much greater chance of achieving the Millennium Goals by 2015. Every single Goal is directly related to women´s rights, and societies were women are not afforded equal rights as men can never achieve development in a sustainable manner.Targets
