Plan International Australia’s submission to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) review of the Gender Equality Strategy shows that girls, young women and gender diverse young people hold huge potential for driving gender equality.
The United Nation Population Fund recognised that girls aged 10 are the key group whose potential, if unlocked, will create the economic and social conditions needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
A focus on girls, particularly adolescent girls, in the new Gender Equality Strategy represents a significant opportunity to accelerate Australia’s efforts towards gender equality.
