Others made the best of their outing by engaging in other fun activities.

Gender equality ‘woefully off track,’ UN warns

Published

on

The United Nations has warned, that Gender equality is “woefully off track.”

At the current rate of progress, gender equality would take 171 years to achieve, the UN’s Gender Snapshot report said.

The number of countries with a woman as head of state or government has increased from 2020 to 2026. “Yet six in seven countries are still led by men.

Women’s representation in national cabinets declined to 22.4 per cent in 2026, after peaking at 23.3 per cent in 2024,” the report said. “The decline is a warning sign that gains cannot be taken for granted, and that progress towards equal political power remains fragile.”

Funding for gender equality has fallen to its lowest level since 2021, the report found. At the same time, 42 per cent of UN agencies reported that their efforts to promote gender equality had been weakened, as a result of budget cuts. 

Millions of women also continued to endure some extremely severe forms of violence and discrimination across the globe, the UN said. Nearly one in five girls is married before the age of 18, and nearly one in three women globally have survived partner or sexual violence in their lifetime. 

In the past year, 316 million women experienced physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner, the report said.  

UN Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs, Li Junhua, said the statistics were not inevitable. “It is the result of choices, made visible through data. Investing in gender equality, institutions, and the statistical systems that hold them to account is not a cost. It is the fastest route back to the 2030 Agenda’s promise of equal power for all.”-GNA
