How is Gender approached?
From the perspective of realizing women’s rights, targeting gender equality and women’s economic empowerment is important and a smart economic move as women are key agents of change: when women and men are equal, economies grow faster while less people remain in poverty and the overall well-being of people increases. As such, harnessing women’s potential as economic actors, leaders and consumers results in higher levels of industrialization and more sustained growth rates – global gross domestic product could increase by more than 25 percent by 2025 if women played the same role in labour markets as men.
