Summary

[Original release: 26 March 2018] Sustainable Development Goal 5 is to ‘achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.’ But gender equality cuts across many of the other sustainable development goals. This raises some questions – about whether gender equality can ever be realised on its own, in its own right – or whether it has to be realised in context. In this episode, we explore development issues that disproportionately affect women and girls and interrogate how the SDGs can do better to address them. **This episode is part of a special series on “Working Together: Human Rights and the Sustainable Development Goals” a British Academy project led by Professor Sandy Fredman.** Produced by: Dr Kira Allmann (University of Oxford) Interview(s) with: Isabel Cristina Jaramillo Sierra (Universidad de los Andes) Music by: Rosemary Allmann
