Gender equality is not only a matter of social justice, but also a key driver for sustainable growth, increased productivity, and economic resilience. It is essential to recognise and fully value the contribution that women can make in all areas of economic, social, political, and institutional life, systematically removing the barriers that continue to limit their participation. It is essential to effectively address entrenched cultural stereotypes and restrictive social norms, as well as to ensure equal access to the labour market and equal opportunities for career advancement and professional development. It is also crucial to close the gender pay gap and ensure universal access to information, knowledge, technology, and healthcare. Women represent an untapped resource for competitiveness: investing in their skills, merit and leadership potential strengthens the competitiveness of production systems and promotes a more inclusive, equitable, robust, and cohesive society.
