<p>The UK was instrumental in securing agreement for a stand-alone goal and dedicated
targets for gender equality and women’s empowerment across the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs). We are continually working on the advancement of SDG5, which remains
a top development priority and a top priority for the UK. Our support is delivering
results at scale – since 2015 UKaid has supported an estimated 3.3 million girls to
gain a decent education, reached an estimated 7.3 million women and girls with humanitarian
assistance and helped an estimated 9.8 million women with life-saving water, sanitation
and hygiene programmes. We look forward to celebrating International Women’s Day on
8 March.</p><p> </p>
