Gender Equality de Walter Leal Filho

Gender Equality: Encyclopedia of the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Editat de Walter Leal Filho, Anabela Marisa Azul, Luciana Brandli, Amanda Lange Salvia, Tony Wall
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 ian 2021

Aplicabilitatea practică a volumului Gender Equality rezidă în capacitatea sa de a transforma directivele teoretice ale Agendei 2030 a ONU în repere concrete pentru politici publice și cercetare academică. Găsim în această lucrare o analiză masivă, de peste 1300 de pagini, dedicată exclusiv Obiectivului de Dezvoltare Durabilă 5, considerat un pilon central pentru sustenabilitatea globală. Suntem de părere că forța acestui volum stă în abordarea enciclopedică, ce nu se limitează la aspecte sociologice, ci integrează dimensiuni economice și tehnologice ale egalității de gen.

Notăm cu interes structura riguroasă a cărții, care progresează de la fundamentele accesului la educație și împuternicirea economică, până la provocări contemporane precum intersecția dintre inteligența artificială și opresiune. Cuprinsul relevă o acoperire geografică și tematică vastă, incluzând analize despre sănătatea reproductivă în Asia de Sud, politici de acțiune afirmativă și mecanisme de protecție legală precum Convenția de la Istanbul. Această lucrare extinde cadrul propus de Reduced Inequalities cu date noi din perioada de implementare a obiectivelor post-2016, oferind o perspectivă mult mai granulată asupra disparităților care persistă la nivel global.

În contextul operei editorului Walter Leal Filho, acest volum continuă direcția stabilită în Handbook of Sustainability Science in the Future, unde autorul explora impactul creșterii populației asupra resurselor. Dacă lucrările sale anterioare, precum Clean Water and Sanitation, se concentrau pe resurse fizice, Gender Equality adresează capitalul uman și structurile sociale necesare pentru a susține progresul tehnic. Stilul este unul academic, precis, eliminând ambiguitățile prin definirea clară a termenilor și a indicatorilor de performanță utilizați de ONU.

Descriere scurtă

The problems related to the process of industrialisation such as biodiversity depletion, climate change and a worsening of health and living conditions, especially but not only in developing countries, intensify. Therefore, there is an increasing need to search for integrated solutions to make development more sustainable. The United Nations has acknowledged the problem and approved the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”. On 1st January 2016, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the Agenda officially came into force. These goals cover the three dimensions of sustainable development: economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection.  
The Encyclopedia of the UN Sustainable Development Goals comprehensively addresses the SDGs in an integrated way. It encompasses 17 volumes, each devoted to one of the 17 SDGs. This volume addresses SDG 5, namely "Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls" and contains the description of a range of terms, which allows a better understanding and fosters knowledge. This SDG is considered by many as a pivotal goal since the significant role of women in achieving sustainable development has always been acknowledged in several official UN declarations. Yet gender disparity is still rampant under various guises in various countries. Women’s rights need to be strongly safeguarded through legislation to ensure equal opportunities.
Concretely, the defined targets are:
  • End all forms of discrimination against all women and girls everywhere
  • 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
  • Eliminate all harmful practices, such as child, early and forced marriage and female genital mutilation
  • 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
  • Ensure women’s full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making in political, economic and public life
  • Ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights as agreed in accordance with the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development and the Beijing Platform for Action and the outcome documents of their review conferences
  • Undertake reforms to give women equal rights to economic resources, as well as access to ownership and control over land and other forms of property, financial services, inheritance and natural resources, in accordance with national laws 
  • Enhance the use of enabling technology, in particular information and communications technology, to promote the empowerment of women
  • Adopt and strengthensound policies and enforceable legislation for the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls at all levels
