Why are we still failing on gender equality despite years of promise As 2025 ends, please consider the below article for publication. Since UN Charter 1945 there are a range of declarations, agreements (some legally binding treaties), where governments have promised to deliver on gender equality for all. But progress is so appalling. For example, there is no change in rates of gender-based violence since 2000 (0.2% annual decline is NOT acceptable).

Why are we failing to end one of humanity's oldest and most pervasive injustices? Please consider the below article with ongoing 16 Days of global campaign to demand ending violence against women and girls. In last 26 years, there is hardly any change in violence: 1-in-3 women continue to face it. This lack of progress is so unacceptable given the legally binding treaty for governments (CEDAW) and other global agreements and promises to end all forms of gender-based violence. Hope we deliver on this goal.
