The Women’s Major Group is proud to launch our Position Paper for the 2021 High-Level Political Forum (HLPF). Gathering the intersectional analyses of feminists worldwide, our position paper reviews systemic barriers and recommendations for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and building a just recovery and feminist response to the pandemic.
“Without systemic change, structural inequalities will continue to shape our pandemic responses, derailing us further from achieving gender equality and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). States should heed the call of feminist advocates and place economic, racial, climate, and gender justice at the center of pandemic recovery and SDGs implementation.”
We want to express deep gratitude to all the fierce feminists who contributed to this powerful advocacy tool, including Rachel Jacobson, who led in drafting and editing the paper. We will use this position paper through and beyond HLPF 2021!
Please join us in sharing the paper widely with decision-makers, allies, and networks as well as across social media!
