Vereinte Nationen: UN: Gleichstellung der Geschlechter 171 Jahre entfernt
Männer führen in sechs von sieben Ländern – und die Chancen auf Gleichstellung sinken. Was steckt hinter dem massiven Rückschritt laut UN-Bericht?
The United Nations has issued a warning about regressive steps concerning gender equality, according to its "Gender Snapshot 2026" report. The report states that the institutions established over decades to advance gender equality are being systematically weakened, causing progress to stall or even reverse. Funding for gender equality has fallen to its lowest level since 2021, with women's rights organizations experiencing a 28 percent decrease in funding from 2023 to 2024.
Meanwhile, 42 percent of UN agencies reported that their efforts to promote gender equality have been weakened due to funding cuts.
Politically, power remains firmly in the hands of men, with six out of the seven countries led by male heads. The communication accompanying the progress report emphasizes the stark reality: at the current pace, gender equality is still 171 years away. This assessment is based on various international datasets analyzed for the report.
