SDG 5 calls for gender equality: achieving equality and empowering all women and girls. This page tracks over 500 initiatives, from women-led businesses and leadership programs to organizations addressing pay equity, safety, and representation across industries and regions.
Gender equality is treated as both a standalone goal and a multiplier across the SDG framework: closing gender gaps in education, finance, and employment tends to accelerate progress on several other goals at once, which is why many projects here also appear under SDG 1, SDG 4, and SDG 8.
What counts as an SDG 5 project? Organizations whose primary mission is advancing gender equity in economic participation, leadership, safety, or access to resources.
