This statement was read at the international conference on “Advancing the Post-2015 Sustainable Development Agenda: Reconfirming Rights – Recognising Limits – Redefining Goals” where several gender focused organizations from around the globe cautioned against the creation of another set of goals that ignore the changes required to address the failure of the modern development system which exacerbates gender, race and class inequities. They called for the enactment of new policies that recognize the unequal burdens of women and girls in sustaining societal well-being and economies.
