Equal Rights for Women and Girls

About This Collection

Equal Rights for Women is a major category, like energy or climate change, of sustainability and the voices in this collection are of the present and the past.

If we don't address human rights and social justice of which the sustainability keywords and phrases include children's rights and welfare; human trafficking, slavery, and women's rights and roles, then as David Korten points out, we will not be able to come to terms with the limits of the planet and not even technology will be able to save us.

Violence Strikes 1 in 3 Women Globally by Jeni G. Klugman

A World Bank Group report, published May 14, 2014, reveals that girls with limited education face significantly higher risks of child marriage, domestic violence, poverty, and a lack of autonomy in health and spending. These disadvantages negatively impact them, their children, and their communities.

Jeni Klugman, the World Bank Group's Director of Gender and Development, leads initiatives promoting gender equality, building on the institution's priorities established after the 2012 World Development Report.
