Gender Month 2022: Women Leading Towards An Equal, Greener and More Resilient Future

01 March 2022 to 31 March 2022

Empowering women to participate fully in economic and social life is essential to building strong economies, establishing stable and just societies, and improving the quality of life for men, women, and our communities.

Under ADB’s Strategy 2030, gender equality is one of seven operational priorities. By 2030, 75% of committed projects and programs will promote gender equality.
