The Gender Snapshot report alerts that if ongoing patterns persist, over 340 million women and girls could be living in poverty by 2030, constituting 8% of the female population globally.

Nearly one in four women may need to tackle food insecurity, with a substantial gap in unpaid care and domestic work.

The next generation of women is projected to spend 2.3 more hours per day on such tasks than men.

The report also emphasizes the ingrained gender gap in leadership roles.

It calls for collective action to address these disparities and achieve a world where every woman and girl enjoys equal rights, opportunities, and representation.

Older women are at greater risk of poverty and violence, along with the strong impact of climate change on restricting women’s development.

The report estimates that an additional $360 billion annually is required to advance gender equality across key SDGs.

Gender equality is considered foundational for an ideal and equal society and is an integral component for achieving all other SDGs.
