SIDS Gender Equality Forum (GEF)
Why the GE Forum
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) face unique vulnerabilities that significantly challenge the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Despite notable progress towards gender equality, SIDS face distinctive challenges that hinder gender equality and women’s empowerment.
What is needed is a strategic, gender-responsive, human-rights based and SIDS-appropriate approach that overcomes innate obstacles and transforms vulnerabilities into tools of resilience, innovation, and equality. In May 2024, the international community gathered for the SIDS4 to review SIDS’ sustainable development progress and propose a new decade of partnerships and solutions to supercharge their path to resilient prosperity, and gender equality needs to be at the centre of this.
