Université Côte d'Azur's ODD 5
Achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls is the goal of MDG 5. Université Côte d'Azur, aware of gender issues, is working to promote equality between women and men in all areas. From research to teaching and student life, our university is implementing numerous initiatives to combat gender stereotypes and promote the emancipation of women. How is Université Côte d'Azur helping to build a more egalitarian society?
What is SDG 5? Better understanding
MDG 5 aims to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.
This means putting an end to all forms of discrimination against women and girls, whether in public or private life. It means giving them the same rights and opportunities as men, in all areas of life: education, employment, health, politics and so on.
Why is gender equality so important? It's not just a question of justice, it's a prerequisite for sustainable development. When women are enabled to reach their full potential, society as a whole benefits.
