A/HRC/27/73 was suggested that terminology such as “universal” or “for all” should be replaced with “women, men, boys and girls”. Concerning the means of implementation, it was suggested that it would make sense to mainstream that throughout, rather than having it is a separate focus area. 29. Regarding specific goals, it was recommended that the goal on health should uphold the right to health especially with regard to it being available, accessible, acceptable, appropriate and of good quality. It was critical to keep SRHR in the gender equality goal — because it was not just about health, but about dignity and autonomy in decision-making. Several other issues were also proposed as additions to the sustainable development goals, including access to de facto education (addressing non-attendance), maternity rights, positive measures to accelerate equality in decision-making in public and private sectors, advancing women’s entrepreneurship, covering all care services guaranteed by the social protection floor and inclusion in a tax framework, pensions and older women’s issues, more detail on violence against women, gender-sensitive budgeting and policies across the board. 30. In conclusion, Ms. Cook, panel moderator, noted the overwhelming consensus for a combination of a stand-alone gender goal together with a mainstream approach to gender. This was justified both on intrinsic (women’s rights) and instrumental grounds (that investing in girls and women was important for achieving all other goals). She highlighted the strong focus on issues related to care and unpaid work, the importance of focusing on adolescent girls, and discussions of budgeting and accountability mechanisms among many important points raised by the panellists and from the floor. The issue of how to increase awareness of men and boys about gender was also important for changing social norms and behaviour around gender. While evidence of progress and examples of how change happen ed existed, the question was currently how to bring onto the agenda some of the neglected issues and to find appropriate entry points to address deep -seated, structural and institutionalized gender constraints. 31. The discussion broadly affirmed the importance of ensuring a strong focus on gender equality in the post-2015 universal framework. Many speakers supported calls for a stand-alone goal covering women’s human rights and recognized that gender discrimination persisted in all regions of the world. The need to mainstream gender concerns across the entire framework was also emphasized. Multiple speakers drew attention to specific areas of women’s human rights that require d attention, including women’s employment, addressing their unpaid work and reducing the care burden, ensuring basic services such as toilets and sanitation, eliminating genderbased violence, ensuring women’s participation, equal rights to land and other productive resources, and sexual and reproductive health. The need to ensure adequate financing and accountability mechanisms to achieve the goals in the new framework, and to ensure disaggregated data were available, were further central issues. 9
