Gender equality is fundamental to achieving poverty reduction and socio-economic development: this results from the central and vital role that women play in society through their contribution to productive activities and their role as social educators and family caretakers. At the same time, gender equity in science and technology is important for development, as has long been recognised by the United Nations.
