Meeting MDG 3 by 2015

To ensure that Goal 3 is met by 2015 seven strategic priorities should be addressed by Delegates. These seven interdependent priorities are the minimum necessary to empower women and alter the historical legacy of female disadvantage that remains in most societies of the world

  1. Strengthen opportunities for postprimary education for girls while simultaneously meeting commitments to universal primary education. 
  2. Guarantee sexual and reproductive health and rights. 
  3. Invest in infrastructure to reduce women’s and girls’ time burdens. 
  4. Guarantee women’s and girls’ property and inheritance rights.
  5. Eliminate gender inequality in employment by decreasing women’s reliance on informal employment, closing gender gaps in earnings, and reducing occupational segregation.
  6. Increase women’s share of seats in national parliaments and local governmental bodies.
  7. Combat violence against girls and women.
