Progress on the Sustainable Development Goals: The Gender Snapshot 2025 is the latest edition in an annual series produced by UN Women and the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs. Covering all 17 Goals, the report spotlights the latest data and evidence on gender equality, tracking trends and revealing progress and gaps. The 2025 Gender Snapshot sounds the alarm: If current trends continue, the world will reach 2030 with 351 million women and girls still living in extreme poverty, and the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 5 – to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls – missed. This is not inevitable—it would be a political outcome, shaped by systemic neglect, stalled investments, and a retreat from equality. But the data also make clear: a different path is still possible. If we chose to invest even in just one concrete action, to close the gender digital divide, 343.5 million women and girls globally could benefit, lifting 30 million women and girls out of poverty by 2050 and generating a $1.5 trillion windfall in global GDP by 2030. With five years to go, and 30 since the Beijing Platform for Action, the report offers both a warning and a way forward. It also anchors the Beijing+30 Action Agenda, identifying six priority areas for accelerated delivery — including two with costed investment pathways on digital inclusion and freedom from poverty. In a moment shaped by both resistance and resolve, the Gender Snapshot affirms a simple truth: gender equality is not an ideology. It is foundational for peace, development, and human rights.
