PHM-Exch> Discussion on a standalone gender equality goal in the post-2015 development agenda

[Claudio Schuftan]

From: Post-2015 Gender Equality Goal <gendergoal at post2015.org>

 We are pleased to inform you that UN Women has launched a new paper to
contribute to the ongoing debate on the post-2015 development agenda. In
the paper, UN Women lays out its vision for a transformative framework that
addresses the structural impediments to gender equality and the achievement
of women’s rights. The paper, *A Transformative Stand-Alone Goal on
Achieving Gender Equality, Women’s Rights and Women’s Empowerment:
Imperatives and Key
Components*<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=64945915&msgid=563584&act=WJHL&c=1000518&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.unwomen.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2013%2F06%2Fpost-2015-case-for-standalone-gender-goal.pdf>is
available for download on the UN
Women website<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=64945915&msgid=563584&act=WJHL&c=1000518&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.unwomen.org%2F2013%2F06%2Fun-women-launches-global-call-for-a-transformative-agenda-to-make-womens-rights-a-reality%2F>
.


To hear feedback on the standalone gender equality goal proposed by the
paper, we would like to invite you to an online discussion. The aim of the
discussion is to be as broad and open as possible, in order to enable a
multitude of voices to be heard from academia, media, civil society
organizations (including national and international non-governmental
organizations), the private sector, governments, and the UN System. You are
strongly encouraged to share not only your views, but also engage with and
bring forth the voices of the constituencies you represent, who may
themselves not be able to participate online.  The recommendations emerging
from your contributions will be summarized to inform UN Women’s future work
on the post-2015 development agenda and the SDGs.



The discussion is currently in its second week and inviting reflections on
the following set of questions:

·         What is your feedback on the proposed targets and indicators?

·         Are there any additional targets and indicators that you would
like to propose?

·         Are there any targets and indicators that you think should be
dropped or revised?



We will follow up with a new set of questions each week and hope that you
will continue to engage in this important dialogue. Please join the
discussion at http://www.worldwewant2015.org/node/357447<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=64945915&msgid=563584&act=WJHL&c=1000518&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.worldwewant2015.org%2Fnode%2F357447%3Futm_source%3DiContact%26utm_medium%3Demail%26utm_campaign%3DPost-2015%20Gender%20Equality%20Goal%26utm_content%3Ddiscussion%2Binvitation>
.



Without further ado, the space is yours. We look forward to hearing from
you on how to ensure a gender perspective in the future development
frameworks.
