Progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): A gender snapshot of the Arab region 2024

Overview

Despite notable advancements in education and health, gender equality in the Arab region faces significant challenges. Key areas identified include employment gaps, unequal representation in leadership positions, persistent gender-based violence, and the impacts of conflict and climate change. The report emphasizes the crucial role of sex-disaggregated data for targeted policy-making, stressing the need for comprehensive legal frameworks to support gender equality.

Main Challenges

Employment Gap: Female labor participation rates remain low at 20% compared to males at 69%. The gender gap in unemployment rates at 16 percentage points requires urgent action.
Leadership Representation: Women hold only 15.7% of management positions, significantly lower than the global average of 27.5%.
Gender-Based Violence: Rates of intimate partner violence remain high, especially in countries with inadequate legal protections.
Conflict and Displacement: Nearly half (48%) of the displaced population is female, increasing vulnerability to violence and exploitation.
Economic Empowerment: Access to financial services and entrepreneurship opportunities is limited, affecting women's economic independence.

Key Findings

Area	Key Figures	Region	Global
Mobile Phone Ownership	68% female vs. 83% male (2023)
Maternal Mortality	139.3 deaths per 100,000 births (2020)	Double	70
Child Marriage	29.4M girls married before 18 (16% female-teenage births)
Unemployment	19.54% female vs. 8.3% male (2023)

Recommendations

Strengthen legal frameworks to protect women's rights in employment, property ownership, and political participation.
Invest in education and vocational training tailored to women's needs.
Enhance data collection systems to enable evidence-based policies.
Promote income-generating opportunities and financial inclusion for women.
Mainstream gender equality in peacebuilding, climate resilience, and urban planning initiatives.

Conclusion

Addressing gender inequality is essential not only for advancing the SDGs but also for achieving broader sustainable development goals. The Arab region must prioritize comprehensive reforms, data-driven policies, and inclusive legal frameworks to empower women and girls effectively..
