The promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women are central to the mandate of EEHRSL and intrinsic to its development approach. This effort includes advocating for women’s and girls’ equal rights, combatting discriminatory practices and challenging the roles and stereotypes that affect inequalities and exclusion. Gender equality and women’s participation are important for effective action on all aspects of sustainable development.
