decision-making. UNICEF builds partnerships across the global community to accelerate gender equality. WHO is working for a world in which no one misses out on health services because of their gender – or for any other reason. US Based Organizations In the US there are over thirteen thousand tax-exempt organizations working on issues related to UN SDG 5, according to data filed with the Internal Revenue Service –IRS and aggregated by X4Impact. X4Impact, with the support of the Rockefeller Foundation, Ford Foundation, Hewlett Foundation, and Giving Tech Labs, created a free online interactive tool Gender Equality in the US. This online tool enables users to see gender equality related indicators nationally and by state, as well as relevant information for over thirteen thousand tax-exempt organizations in the US working on issues related to UN SDG 5. The nonprofit data in the tool is updated every 15 days while the indicators are updated annually. Society and culture The World Pensions Council (WPC) has insisted on the transformational role gender-diverse boards can play in that regard, predicting that 2018 could be a pivotal year, as "more than ever before, many UK and European Union pension trustees speak enthusiastically about flexing their fiduciary muscles for the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, including SDG 5, and to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls." Some have advocated for "listening to girls". The assertion is that the SDGs can deliver transformative change for girls only if girls are consulted. Their priorities and needs must be taken into account. Girls should be viewed not as beneficiaries of change, but as agents of change. Engaging women and girls in the implementation of the SDGs is crucial.
