This report begins with a methodological introduction which presents the relationship of the report to the 2030 Agenda. It also clarifies the conceptual framework adopted in the 2030 agenda towards development, which consists of the five dimensions of sustainable human development corresponding to the five principal ‘Areas’ contained within the agenda. This framework stresses the importance of taking the reality of our societies and countries as the starting point for the process of considering, analysing and adapting the global agenda. From its outset, this report illustrates that understanding the approach to development, societal transformation and the 2030 Agenda from the perspective of gender equality and the empowerment of women is essential for the success of the entire development process. The issue of gender equality and the empowerment of women is a pillar of the 2030 Agenda and an essential precondition for the success of the entire development process. This is especially true in Arab countries and societies, given the effect of the political system and the patriarchal nature of the structures of power. These topics are vital to the 2030 Agenda, since the success or failure of the global agenda and its national manifestations largely depends on the extent of progress achieved in bridging the gender gap and curbing unequal dynamics that continue to reproduce, persist and expand. The organic connection that exists between development and human rights is both necessary and essential. It plays a critical role in consolidating the gender approach to understanding and implementing the 2030 Agenda. This approach involves integrating the gender-equality dimension into all the SDGs and targets. The work strategies of civil society, especially trade unions and developmental, human rights and feminist organisations, must start from the top. Any genuine, sustainable progress cannot be achieved by infiltration, but rather requires the development of a multi-dimensional work strategy (from global to local) incorporating all dimensions of sustainable human development (economic, social, environmental, political and knowledge/cultural), while covering immediate, intermediate and long-term realities at the same time…
