Gender Global Theme 

Gender equality is an urgent imperative. The world is experiencing an unprecedented set of crises wit disproportionately negative impacts on women, girls, sexual and gender minorities, and marginalized groups. Climate change, fragility, forced displacement, and pandemics threaten hard-won gains in women’s human capital. At stake is the fundamental human right of gender equality of all people, a matter of fairness and justice. It is a foundation for a peaceful and prosperous world and essential for development. Achieving gender equality is, however, uniquely challenging, and complex. 

The new 2024-2030 World Bank Group Gender Strategy puts forward the bold ambition to accelerate gender equality for a sustainable, resilient, and inclusive future in alignment with the World Bank Evolution Roadmap. The Strategy responds to the global urgency, fundamentality, and complexity of achieving gender equality. Building on implementation of the 2016-2023 WBG Gender Strategy, the new Strategy proposes to engage with greater ambition – approaching gender equality for all as essential for global development – and to engage differently. /en/topic/gender.
