The 3rd Goal: Gender Equality and Empowering Women

The3rdGoal in conjunction with the United Nations Millennium Development Goals; amongst other actions our reasonable goal is to place into reach, professional careers for underprivileged or at-risk girls and boys of America; as well as, International communities through the use of an online educational portal. In our first year, we have launched an online website that is available for free every year to a class of economically disadvantaged high school or secondary age students Nationally or Overseas. The3rdGoal also wants to provide educational services to low-income women that are seeking to improve their lives through education and business development. The3rdGoal actively supports non-profit and for-profit organizations and educational institutions that serve one of the following areas:

Poverty Relief

Education

Gender Equality

Health

Research

Environment

Business & Community Development

The United Nations Millennium Development Goals are eight in number. The 3rd M.D. Goal is about Gender Equality and Empowering Women. That is what this site addresses; an attempt to live up to this and these ideals. What do we have to lose if things do not improve? Human intellectual resources that remain undereducated and undervalued. However, we will still have poverty.

Vital Voices Online: Ambassador Verveer at the 54th session of the Commission on the Status of Women

In an address at the 54th session of the Commission on the Status of Women on March 3, Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women’s Issues, Melanne Verveer, spoke on the progress made and obstacles that remain in the effort to realize UN Millennium Development Goals related to women’s empowerment and international development. Verveer emphasized the value that safeguarding women’s rights, improving maternal health, and supporting women’s economic advancement can have on whole communities.

“Millennium Development Goal 3, on gender equality, is the linchpin—the means to the achievement of all other MDGs.”

During its 54th session, the Commission on the Status of Women is undertaking a 15-year review of the global commitments made at the historic UN Fourth World Conference on Women, held in Beijing, China, in 1995. Ambassador Verveer said that much work lies ahead before those commitments are fully honored, especially regarding the challenge of violence against women, but she is urged on by the unanimous passage of a UN resolution for the creation of the first UN agency that will be exclusively committed to women’s global advancement.
