Gender inequality is one of the most pressing contemporary Global Challenges, and the UN has recognised the barriers posed to women and girls across the Global South in its Sustainable Development Goals.
However, for too long individual research strands have not sufficiently explored the interconnected factors that combine to result in poorer outcomes for women and girls.
IGI research into this challenge aims to reduce gender inequality in the Global South through research that identifies the main political, cultural, medical, legal and economic challenges faced by women and girls, and lays out a new set of innovative solutions to them.
