- Description
- 'The global struggle for women’s rights and gender equality over the past century has been extraordinarily transformative in terms of the deep tectonic shifts it has created in the social terrain, but has never quite received an equivalent share of public recognition or financial investment. The third goal, or MDG3, from the Millennium Declaration and the Millennium Development Goals is to “promote gender equality and empower women”, was important but hardly path-breaking, and many feminist advocates around the world – including AWID – were critical of MDG3, since it constituted a significant reduction and dilution of many of the key agreements on gender equality and women’s rights that they had fought for and won in the previous decades. Nevertheless, the absence of any development goal focused on the already negotiated human rights of women would have been worse.'
