SDG #5 - Gender Equality
Proposal
In this presentation, SDG #5, Gender Equality, is reviewed in depth. Throughout the presentation, presenters will cover a wide range of topics pertaining to this sustainable development goal on national and international levels. This includes the breakdown of the entirety of the goal, focusing on 1) Achieving gender equality and 2) Empowering all women and girls, with statistics pertaining to the goal at a global scale. The topics touched upon include the actions that must be taken to effectively end sexism in its many forms and different methods by which we could approach a solution. SDG targets 5.2 (Eliminate all forms of violence against all women and girls in the public and private spheres, including trafficking and sexual and other types of exploitation (United Nations, 2023)) and 5.4 (Recognize and value unpaid care and domestic work through the provision of public services, infrastructure and social protection policies and the promotion of shared responsibility within the household and the family as nationally appropriate (United Nations, 2023)) are looked at in-depth, as well as why the targets matter and how they are measured. This presentation also focuses on Canada-wide efforts, and what each person can do to help with the fight against gender inequality in their everyday lives. University of Windsor Initiatives, such as FishCAST “Gender Equality Today for a Sustainable Tomorrow” Conference (FishCAST, 2022) , Women’s and Gender Studies Program (UWindsor, 2023) , and Women’s and Gender Studies Student Association (WGSSA, 2023) are talked about as notable resources available with efforts towards gender equality on campus, tying the SDG directly to the University. Overall, this SDG is looked at through both a global and community scale, with an in-depth SDG analysis, global data to back up the findings, and nation-wide and local initiatives/ resources. This is part of the Outstanding Scholars Curriculum.
