UNFPA: State of the World Population 2005

 

It is a simple message but a powerful one: Gender equality reduces poverty and saves and improves lives.

This year's The State of World Population report stresses that gender equality and reproductive health are indispensable to the realization of this promise.

 

UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, October 2005

"...The report, The Promise of Equality: Gender Equity, Reproductive Health and the Millennium Development Goals, explores the degree to which the global community has fulfilled pledges made to the world's most impoverished and marginalized peoples. It tracks progress, exposes shortfalls and examines the links between poverty, gender equality, human rights, reproductive health, conflict and violence against women and girls. It also examines the relationship between gender discrimination and the scourge of HIV/AIDS. It identifies the vulnerabilities and strengths of history's largest cohort of young people and highlights the critical role they play in development.."
