Do you have what it takes to be an ‘SDG 5 Youth Ambassador’? On your Facebook page, post a photo of your version of a high five and a caption explaining how you will support SDG 5 – gender equality and empowerment for all women and girls – with the hashtag #Hi5forSDG5.
SDG 5 or the ‘Gender Goal’ is the fifth of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in September 2015 to direct the global development agenda for the next 15 years. SDG 5 aims to ‘achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls’ by 2030.
The Asia and Pacific region has the largest number of young people, with 750 million aged 15 to 24 years. This is a call to all of you, young women and men. You are shaping the future of our region and have a very important role to play in supporting SDG 5 and realizing the Gender Goal. We want you to think about SDG 5 and what YOU can do to make it a reality.
