The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Security Sector and Gender Equality: Policy Brief

Part of the Gender and Security Toolkit, the Policy Brief:

- explains how Agenda 2030 recognizes good governance of the security and justice sector as key to sustainable development;

- explores how Agenda 2030 positions the achievement of gender equality as critical for the attainment of all of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 16 on peace, justice and strong institutions;

- illustrates the concrete linkages between working towards SDG 16 and SDG 5 on gender equality, and provides links to detailed information and guidance across the Gender and Security Toolkit;

- highlights how gender-responsive data collection by the security and justice sector can support work on Agenda 2030.

The Toolkit was published with the support of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR). Its content does not necessarily reflect the policy and position of the OSCE/ODIHR.
