Legalite entre les genres
L’égalité entre les genres est un droit de lapersonne fondamental et une priorité internationalepolitique et stratégique importantepour favoriser un monde pacifique prospèreet durable[5]. Malgré les nombreux effortsdéployés pour faire progresser l’égalité desgenres la discrimination structurelle et systémiqueà l’encontre des femmes et des fillespersiste dans le monde entier. Selon un rapportd’ONU-Femmes et du Département desaffaires économiques et sociales des NationsUnies sans investissements supplémentaires ilfaudrait près de trois cents ans pour parvenir àune égalité totale entre les genres
Gender equality
Gender equality is a fundamental human right and an important international political and policy priority for fostering a peaceful prosperous and sustainable world.[5] Despite many efforts to advance gender equality structural and systemic discrimination against women and girls persists around the world. According to a report by UN-Women and the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs without further investment it could take closeto 300 years to achieve full gender equality

Gender mainstreaming toolkit
This chapter will provide a series of measures and submeasures for gender mainstreaming in the space sector. Institutions are encouraged to adopt these measures based on the context size and maturity of their organization. These measures include:
Background
Space4Women is an initiative of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) to advance gender equality in the space sector and in the STEM fields. The objectives of Space4Women are to raise awareness about the importance of gender equality and women’s empowerment in the space sector; to strengthen and deliver targeted capacitybuilding activities both at institutional and individual level; to encourage women and girls to pursue space and STEM education and careers; and to contribute to achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 on quality education and SDG 5 on gender equality. As part of its activities UNOOSA co-hosts annual expert meetings to advance the discussion around gender equality at the global level.

Harsh Realities: Marginalized Women in Cities of the Developing World
For women and girls urbanization is often associated with greater access to education and employment opportunities lower fertility rates and increased independence. Yet women are often denied the same benefits and opportunities that cities offer to men. Moreover women are frequently excluded from efforts to create more equitable and sustainable cities. Women living in urban slums particularly endure multiple hardships with basic needs such as durable housing and access to clean water and improved sanitation facilities often going unmet. This analysis based on data from 59 low- and middle-income countries in Latin America and the Caribbean Central and Southern Asia and sub-Saharan Africa finds that women and their families bear the brunt of growing income inequality and failures to adequately plan for and respond to rapid urbanization.
Will the Pandemic Derail Hard-won Progress on Gender Equality?
COVID-19 (coronavirus) has been declared a public health emergency of international concern and a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. This global threat to health security underscores the urgent need to accelerate progress on achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 and the need to massively scale up international cooperation to deliver on SDG 3. It also reveals what is less obvious but no less urgent: how health emergencies such as COVID-19 and the response to them can exacerbate gender inequality and derail hard-won progress not only on SDG 3 but on all the SDGs. This paper presents the latest evidence on the gendered impact of the pandemic highlights potential and emerging trends and reflects on the long-term impact of the crisis on the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The paper begins by presenting key facts and figures relating to the gendered impacts of COVID-19 followed by reflecting on the health impacts of COVID-19 on SDG 3 targets. Then the paper explores the socioeconomic and political implications of COVID-19 on women and gender across five of the Goals: SDG 1 (poverty) 4 (quality education) 5 (gender equality) 8 (decent work and economic growth) and 10 (reduced inequalities). The paper concludes by outlining policy priorities drawn from the evidence presented.
