Building back better from COVID-19 while advancing the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Reproduced with kind permission of the Women\u2019s Major Group (https:\/\/www.womensmajorgroup.org\/) and summary prepared by Veena N (Veena.N.PhD@gmail.com), Researcher, Bengaluru, India<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Women\u2019s Major Group released the 2022 High Level Political Forum Position Paper titled \u2018Building back better from COVID-19 while advancing the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development\u2019 with inputs from over 70 Women\u2019s Major group members. Including intersectional analysis by feminists and gender equality activists worldwide, the position paper reviews the available data, highlights systemic barriers and presents recommendations for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and building a just recovery and feminist response to the pandemic.<\/p>\n The end of Decade of Action for the Sustainable Development Goals is used as a moment to reflect on the process of rebuilding from COVID-19 by abandoning austerity, competition, and extractivist, exploitative, and patriarchal systems, and replacing them with feminist decolonial ethics of care, equality and abundance. The report includes recommendations for each of the Sustainable Development Goals as well as cross-cutting recommendations based on a vision of a just and equitable world.<\/p>\n The report recommends a human rights-based and gender transformative approach to the implementation of all aspects of the 2030 Agenda and the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its related crises. Some SDGs relevant to fisheries are summarised below.<\/p>\n Sustainable Development Goal 1: End poverty in all its forms everywhere<\/em><\/p>\n An additional 75 – 95 million people will be living in poverty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and additional crises caused by inflation and the conflict in Ukraine. In all, 388 million women and girls will live in poverty in 2022, but the number could be as high as 446 million in a \u2018high damage\u2019 scenario. Only 13 percent of the social protection and labor market measures enacted by governments during COVID crisis targeted women\u2019s economic security and only 11 percent provided support for rising unpaid care demands.<\/p>\n Recommendations include adequate finance to create comprehensive, gender-transformative social protection systems targeted to the most vulnerable, especially for services needed by women, girls, and gender-diverse people. Remove discrimination against gender-diverse, gender non-conforming, and non-binary people in the design and accessibility of social protection programs.<\/p>\n Sustainable Development Goal 2: End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture<\/em><\/p>\n Women are responsible for half of the world\u2019s food production but own less than 20 percent of land worldwide. Women are more likely to report food insecurity than men. COVID-19 has exacerbated the global gender gap in food insecurity from 6 percent in 2019 to 10 percent in 2020.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
