In presenting this report, editors acknowledge and applaud the assertion that all indicators for the SDG targets “should be disaggregated by sex, age, residence and other characteristics, as relevant and possible.” The focus on and capture of such data is essential, not only to ensure gender equality across all SDG outcomes, but also to ensure the successful implementation of the SDGs for all of humanity.
Editors’ aim is to help improve efficacy of the measures used to implement the SDGs, including their cross cutting impacts, by identifying research that investigates all sources and conditions of inequality in the lives of girls, boys, women, and men.
Although not every aspect of science for development, and every measure used to implement the SDG targets, involves direct influence of sex and gender differences, their potential impact on outcomes must be considered in all instances. Otherwise, sex and gender issues will be sidelined as they were in many cases of the MDGs.
This report represents the joint effort of 27 international experts from various fields of science, technology, gender and development. It cites substantial research evidence, with 170 examples, to show that sex-gender considerations must be more deeply and broadly integrated into science knowledge and technologies supporting measures to achieve the SDG targets.
