Gender equality stalling or going backwards for 1bn women and girls

[Overbearingndn]

The SDG Gender Index, published today by a coalition of NGOs, found that no country has, so far, achieved the promise of gender equality envisioned by the UN’s 2030 sustainable development goals (SDGs).

More than 850 million women and girls are living in countries rated as “very poor” for gender equality, says a new report, subjecting them to a litany of potential restrictions and abuses, including forced pregnancies, childhood marriage and bans from secondary education.

Dismal’ lack of progress leaves women and girls facing litany of abuses – with no country on track to achieve equality.

Grim.

And even in countries like ours where we've made significant progress and men's rights activists whine about 'feminism gone too far', we've nowhere reached sex equality on that index, and the trend for the U.K. is slightly declining.

It's depressing but not surprising. For every step forward, women are beaten back. Men simply do not want women on equal standing to them.
