- Description
- This report was inspired by the scientific evidence examined during the 6th Gender Summit Asia-Pacific held in Seoul on 26-28 August 2015, showing how research and innovation outcomes are influenced by biological and social differences between females and males, and by the growing scientific consensus to integrate gender as a dimension of quality and inpact in research. .The aim of this report is to help improve efficacy of the measures used to implement the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's), including their cross cutting impacts, by identifying research that investigates all sources and conditions of inequality in the lives of girls, boys, women, and men. It cites substantial research evidence, with 170 examples, to show that gender considerations must be more deeply and broadly integrated into science knowledge and technologies supporting measures to achieve the SDG. It also lists over 150 examples of research topics recommended by experts as in of further investigation.
