<p style="text-align: justify;">Despite progress reforming laws addressing discrimination against women, there are numerous countries where women are still left without protection or the legal basis to claim their rights. Many women and girls continue to be affected by multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination, preventing the full realization of their human rights.
Strong legal frameworks must be put in place to advance gender equality in all areas. Principles of non-discrimination cannot be fully realized without “legal frameworks to promote, enforce and monitor equality and non-discrimination on the basis of sex” (SDG Indicator 5.1.1).
UN Women, in partnership with the OECD Development Centre and the World Bank Group, are working together to develop, measure and track progress on this important indicator. This side event will present the technical work underpinning this collaboration and efforts by Member States and other stakeholders in relation to SDG indicator 5.1.1 and legal frameworks that advance gender equality.</p>
