The Role of Gender-based Innovations for the UN SDG

This report represents the joint effort of 27 international experts from various fields of science, technology, gender and development. It cites substantial research evidence, with 170 examples, to show that sex-gender considerations must be more deeply and broadly integrated into science knowledge and technologies supporting measures to achieve the SDG targets.

The scientific evidence already available shows that gender inequality issues cannot be separated from actions to tackle poverty, hunger, poor health and wellbeing, maternal death, climate change adaptation, energy and environmental burdens, economic hardships, and societal insecurity.
