‘The Margins Of The Budget': Gender Equality In Developing Countries Underfunded By $420 Billion Annually
1 July 2025 'The money simply is not reaching the women and girls who need it most,' UN Women said in a news release issued on Monday. This estimate comes in the midst of the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development underway in Sevilla, Spain. There, world leaders are working to revitalize the international financing structure to better support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), one of which is gender equality. 'We cannot close gender gaps with budgets that are lacking a gender lens … Gender equality must move from the margins of the budget lines to the heart of public policy,' said Nyaradzayi Gumbonzvanda, Deputy Executive Director of UN Women. Move from promise to action In order to remedy this shortfall, UN Women said that the world needs a decade of targeted and consistent investment to end gender gaps and ensure that no one is left behind. This includes expanding gender-responsive budgeting which carefully tracks where funding is most needed and supporting programs which target those areas. Currently, three-fourths of countries do not have systems to track the allocation of public funds in relation to gender equality. Specifically, investment in public care systems – such as child and elder care programmes – is essential to ensuring that women can enter the workforce. Overwhelmed by debt Additionally, UN Women called for urgent debt relief, citing that many countries are so burdened by debt financing that they cannot dedicate money to advancing gender equality. In this vein, UN Women welcomed the Compromiso de Sevill a, the outcome of the Conference adopted by Member States, which lays out new commitments to development financing, including on promoting gender equality. Ms. Gumbonzvanda emphasised the need for governments to back the commitments they made in this document with real action. '[Gender equality] takes money. It takes reform. And it takes leadership that sees women not as a cost, but as a future.'

Afghan Women Face Near Total Social, Economic And Political Exclusion
17 June 2025 But recently, the level of participation has reached a new low – zero. Zero women in national or local decision-making bodies. Zero girls projected to be in secondary education following a December 2024 ban. These numbers are part of the index released Tuesday by gender equality agency UN Women which is the most comprehensive study on gender inequality in Afghanistan since the Taliban resumed de facto control in 2021. It paints a sobering picture of the state of gender equality in Afghanistan. 'Since [2021], we have witnessed a deliberate and unprecedented assault on the rights, dignity and very existence of Afghan women and girls. And yet, despite near-total restrictions on their lives, Afghan women persevere,' said Sofia Calltorp, UN Women chief of humanitarian action, at a briefing in Geneva. Second-widest gender gap in the world The report released by UN Women noted that while the Taliban regime has presided over 'unparalleled' gender inequality, disparities existed long before 2021. 'The issue of gender inequality in Afghanistan didn't start with the Taliban. Their institutionalised discrimination is layered on top of deep-rooted barriers that also hold women back,' Ms. Calltorp said. According to the index, Afghanistan currently has the second-worst gender gap in the world, with a 76 per cent disparity between women's and men's achievements in health, education, financial inclusion and decision-making. Afghan women are currently realizing only 17 per cent of their potential, and recent policies by the de facto government — including the December 2024 ban on women in secondary education and the increasingly stringent restrictions on women's movement — will perpetuate and perhaps worsen this under-realized potential. Systematic exclusion and social effects This sort of systematic exclusion of women from society at all levels not only impedes progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and gender equality but also exacerbates poverty and instability more broadly, making it harder for the economy to diversify labour sources. 'Afghanistan's greatest resource is its women and girls. Their potential continues to be untapped,' said UN Women Executive Director Sima Bahous. Right now, only 24 per cent of women are part of the labour force, compared to 89 per cent of men. Continued protracted economic strife has led to the number of women in the workforce increasing. 'Overlapping economic, political, and humanitarian crises — all with women's rights at their core — have pushed many households to the brink. In response – often out of sheer necessity — more women are entering the workforce,' Ms. Calltorp said. Nevertheless, women are still predominantly working in lower-paid and less secure positions and are overwhelmingly responsible for all unpaid domestic work. Ms. Calltorp noted that despite the 'devastating' daily constraints that Afghan women face, they continue to advocate for themselves and their rights. '[Afghan women] continue to find ways to run businesses and advocate for their rights – and the rights of all Afghans…Their courage and resilience spans generations,' Ms. Calltorp said. Stark choices Alongside a deteriorating gender equality landscape, the aid outlook in Afghanistan is increasingly bleak with only 18 per cent of the 2025 humanitarian response plan for Afghanistan funded. This is having tangible impacts on the ground, leading UN agencies and partners to call for action and funds. 'Time and time again in Afghanistan, we have seen how donor support can be the difference between life and death…We make an urgent appeal to donors to increase flexible, timely and predictable funding,' they said. Women, girls and other vulnerable groups are particularly impacted by these funding shortages — 300 nutrition sites for malnourished mothers and children have shut and 216 gender-based violence points have suspended work impacting over one million women and girls. 'The choices we make now will reveal what we stand for as a global community. If the world tolerates the erasure of Afghan women and girls, it sends a message that the rights of women and girls everywhere are fragile and expendable,' Ms. Calltorp said. 'Afghan women and girls haven't given up, and we will not give up on them.'
