“The weakening of democratic institutions has gone hand in hand with backlash on gender equality,“ the report said, adding that “anti-rights actors are actively undermining long-standing consensus on key women’s rights issues.”
In the 30 years since the conference, the UN said that progress has been mixed.
The number of women with social protection benefits increased by a third between 2010 and 2023, though two billion women and girls still live in places without such protections.
The report cites the Covid-19 pandemic, global conflicts, climate change and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) as all new potential threats to gender equality.
In 2023, 612 million women lived within 50 kilometers (31 miles) of armed conflict, a 54-percent increase since 2010.
“Globally, violence against women and girls persists at alarming rates. Across their lifetime, around one in three women are subjected to physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner or sexual violence by a non-partner,“ the report said.
The report sets out a multi-part roadmap to address gender inequality, such as fostering equitable access to new technologies like AI, measures toward climate justice, investments to combat poverty, increasing participation in public affairs and fighting against gendered violence.
