YOUTH AND GENDER EQUALITY
There are 1.8 billion young people aged 10-24 in the world - the largest youth population ever. Of these, 600 million are adolescent girls and young women.
Across the world, young women continue to face gender-based discrimination, marginalization, and violence, including unequal access to education and opportunities for leadership and participation.
The new 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development must deliver equal gains for youth. The force and inspiration of our youngest leaders are critical drivers for accelerating progress on sustainable development and gender equality.
