Development and gender equality is fundamental to delivering on the
promises of sustainability, peace and human progress. Achieving gender
equality and women’s empowerment is integral to each of the 17 goals. Only
by ensuring the rights of women and girls, and in the case of the capacity
building conducted by the PSRTI, the rights of all persons, across all the goals
will mean equal justice and inclusion, economies that work for all, and
sustaining a shared environment now and for future generations.
PSRTI intends to align itself with the achievement of the global goals by
pursuing more capability building initiatives not only on Statistics on Gender
and Sustainable Development but also in terms of inclusion of gender
statistics in the different training modules being conducted by PSRTI. The
focus on statistics that are well presented and appreciated may give rise to
better gender-sensitive policies and programs. It will also be helpful in the
monitoring and evaluation stages of indicators dealing with sustainable
development and gender equality. The numbers will tell the stories, these will
point to the next steps, to the assurance that gender equality is possible
because the integrated statistics are appreciated and understood.
