Researchers claim that no nation is currently on track to achieve gender equality by 2030. As mentioned by Equal Measures 2030, a girl born today will have to wait until she is 97 years old (beyond her life expectancy) to see equality in society. Analysts report that from 2019 to 2022, approximately 40% of nations saw either no improvement or a decrease in gender equality, affecting over 1.1 billion women and girls residing in these countries.

In general, according to experts from Equal Measures 2030, there is a possibility of new global challenges arising within the next six years that could weaken the slight progress made in gender equality.

Equal Measures 2030 specialists have created various suggestions for national authorities, including law reform and effective implementation of gender equality policies, to advance gender equality in light of these crises.
