Gender Inequality has a long-standing history of being entrenched in various aspects of the Indian society, excluding women not being contoured in dominant economic, social and political narratives. Recognizing the criticality of Gender Equality, United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5 is centred on women emerging as equally invested stakeholders in our development paradigm. The UN believes “Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. In the Indian context, Prime Minister Modi has expressed a deep commitment towards SDG 5 and NITI Aayog has been mandated as the nodal agency responsible for the implementation and monitoring outcomes for projects that relate to various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Recognizing these imperatives, United Nations Global Compact Network India (UN GCNI) organized their First Gender Equality Summit 2018 (GES 2018) in New Delhi on 9th March. The theme for the Summit was Gender Equality – A Key Differentiator for Sustainable Growth. The GES was unprecedented in terms of participation and the scope of its concerns. More than two fifty delegates from Government, Public & Private Sector, Civil Society and UN Agencies were drawn to one platform to deliberate imperatives and prepare a blueprint for action for healthy gender parity starting now and for generations to come.
