Equality For All
We believe in an equal world.
A world that is inclusive, peaceful and sustainable, for all people. Everywhere.
To achieve this, we need to tackle inequalities at all levels – income, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, race, class, ethnicity, religion and opportunity.
Inequalities affect us all, no matter who we are or where we are from.
8
We live in a world where eight men own the same amount of wealth as the 3.6 billion people who make up the poorest half of the earth’s population.
3
A world where childhood obesity levels are increasing, yet over 3 million children die from malnutrition each year.
10%
In this world, the richest 10% produce half of all carbon emissions globally, and the people who have contributed least to climate change are the ones who are suffer most from its impact.
We cannot achieve sustainable development and protect the planet if we exclude any part of the world’s population.
It’s not too late to turns things around. We can transform our world, so it doesn’t work for the lucky few, it works for the many.
The Global Goals
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals were adopted by every country around the world in September 2015 and aim to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all by 2030. These goals are universal in nature, applying to developed and developing countries alike, and place sustainable developmentat their core.
Goal 10: Reduced Inqualities
Goal 10 (Reduced Inequalities) aims to tackle different forms of inequalities: from unequal income and to gender inequalities, from barriers to political participation to climate change generated inequalities, within and between countries. SDG 10 is connected to all other global goals. Without combatting inequalities both locally and globally, none of the other goals can be achieved.
