Five years away from the 2030 deadline, none of the global gender equality targets are on track. From poverty to conflict, the setbacks are staggering.

According to a new UN report launched on Monday, extreme poverty rates for women and girls have hardly moved in the last five years.

Data shows that by the year 2030, there will be 351 million women and girls who live in the very worst forms of poverty around the world.

But the report also points to real solutions, and what’s possible when countries invest in women and girls.

UN News’s Ana Carmo sat down with Sarah Hendriks, Director of the Policy Division at UN Women, to discuss the main findings of the 2025 SDG Gender Snapshot report.
