Gender Equality

Gender equality is a central social challenge of our time. It is evident on a global level and in all public and private spheres, such as income, employment opportunities, child and family care as well as access to education.
The United Nations has set 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the most urgent global problems. Number 5 of the SDGs focusses on "Gender Equality" [1].
