Through the pledge to "Leave No One Behind", countries have committed to fast-track progress for those furthest behind first.: 54  SDG 5 aims to grant women and girls equal rights and opportunities to live free of violence and discrimination, including in the workplace.
SDG 5 has nine targets and 14 indicators. Six of the targets are outcome targets:

ending all forms of discrimination against all women and girls everywhere
ending violence and exploitation of women and girls
eliminating harmful practices such as child early and forced marriage and female genital mutilation
increasing value of unpaid care and promoting shared domestic responsibilities
ensuring full participation of women in leadership and decision-making
ensuring access to universal reproductive rights and health.
The three means of implementation targets are:

fostering equal rights to economic resources, property ownership, and financial services for women
promoting empowerment of women through technology
adopting and strengthening policies for gender equality, and supporting legislation to enforce it.
The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 also posed a challenge in achieving gender equality. The impact of COVID-19 on women has been significant. Some examples include compounded economic impacts, increased unpaid care work (such as during school closures), an increase in domestic violence and other factors.
