Women's Major Group Response to Zero Draft Outcome Document

The Women's Major Group, a collection of women's NGOs of which Peace Women is a member, aims to ensure effective public participation of women's non-governmental groups in the UN policy process on Sustainable Development, Post-2015 and Environmental matters. Peace Women collaborated with other members of the Women's Major Group to create a response to the Zero Draft of the Outcome Document on the Post-2015 Agenda. The Zero Draft will serve as an outline for the adoption of the SDGs at the General Assembly summit in September. The WMG response analyses the Zero Draft through a gendered lens and draws attention to the areas that need improvement regarding gender equality and women's and girl's empowerment.
