When Data Speaks: Accelerating Equality - SDG Gender Snapshot 2025 launch

Join UN Women and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark for the Danish launch of the UN report Progress on the Sustainable Development Goals: The Gender Snapshot 2025 – the annual flagship report by UN Women and the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA).

This year’s edition comes at a pivotal moment: 30 years after the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, and only five years until the 2030 deadline to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is a time to take stock of progress, confront persistent and emerging challenges, and renew our collective commitment to gender equality, women’s empowerment, and sustainable development.

The launch will spotlight the report’s key findings and provide space for reflection on how Denmark and global partners can accelerate progress. Read the report here.

Please note that there is a limited number of seats. NB: each name must be registered individually.

Please bring a valid photo ID for the registration and security check.

Kindly allow sufficient time for the security check upon arrival. The official programme starts at 9:00.
