There is a need to go much further to eliminate indirect forms of discrimination and the structural barriers that have the effect, if not always the intention, of producing unequal outcomes. It is also a development imperative: the growing inequalities between social groups, and between rich and poor women, undermine development by wasting human capabilities and talents, hindering economic dynamism and threatening social cohesion. The Open Working Group of the General Assembly (OWG) on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has articulated a vision of a world that is 'just, equitable and inclusive',’ making clear that gender equality and women's and girls' empowerment are central to this urgent endeavour.
