monitoring the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, assessing progress
and upholding accountability.

Targets relating to the elimination of violence against women, the economic
participation of women, addressing unpaid work and removing all forms of discrimination
against women were mentioned as serious challenges to be tackled under Goal 5. Attaining
these targets in a holistic way across the 17 Goals, and implementing the entire 2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development with a gender-sensitive perspective, were considered
the key to delivering on the promise of the 2030 Agenda.
73.
Regional cooperation on development was seen as pivotal and essential to create
partnerships across countries and regions to benefit the 2030 Agenda.
74.
Panellists collectively called upon States to put in place inclusive processes, with
particular emphasis on the voice of marginalized groups, in order to advance the 2030
Agenda. The Human Rights Council, its mechanisms, including the universal periodic
review and the special procedures, and the treaty bodies were instrumental in assisting
States in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda with a gender and human rights
perspective. In this respect, the inaugural Youth Forum of the Human Rights Council was
also mentioned as an example of an effective bottom-up approach to ensure inclusion of
diverse voices, especially those of young people.
75.
Lastly, the panel unanimously recognized the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development as an ambitious, comprehensive and people-centred set of universal and
transformative goals and targets. The 2030 Agenda was therefore a tremendous opportunity
to advance development in all parts of the world.
