5.c. Adopt and strengthen sound policies and enforceable legislation for the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls at all levels

4. Critique of SDG 5
Gender targets within SDG 5 are better than those in MDG 3. The only target pertaining to Goal 3 on GEWE was restricted to eliminating gender disparity in education, with an assumption that parity in education would help attain equality in parliament and gender parity in non-agriculture work.
Nevertheless there are limitations of SDG 5 as it is set in larger neo liberal paradigm of development, inequalities between and within countries, does not seek to transform religious institutions or traditional councils, treats women as a homogenous groups, does not refer to issues of people of diverse sexual orientation and gender identity, does not deal with attitudinal change, or promote work with men and boys on gender concerns.
