Women-focused initiative
Sustainable Development Council
Women 4 Women Initiative
The primary objective of the Women 4 Women Initiative is to address violence against women and girls in all its forms, including sexual, mental, and physical violence.
The initiative is also framed around empowerment, supporting women and girls so they can claim rights, dignity, and opportunity more fully.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries, developed and developing, in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth, all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.
This initiative reflects SDC's long-term engagement with gender equality, protection, and empowerment-oriented programming.
