GENDER EQUALITY AND WOMEN EMPOWERMENT

Annals of Intensive Care supports the UN Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG5):
Achieve gender equality and empower all women  and girls

New Content Item

The United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are at the centre of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and focus on a shared path towards peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. 

The SDG’s recognise that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests. Research towards these 17 goals is critical for global transformation to happen.
Any discussion about sustainable development is underpinned by gender inequality and its wide-reaching effects. Only when gender equity is achieved can we hope to be on a secure footing to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Annals of Intensive Care and the French Society of Intensive Care trust the vital role of women and the need for their full and equal participation and leadership in all areas of sustainable development. To this aim we are committed to increase the women representativeness in the Journal Editorial Board and authorship. We see this as the start of a long term commitment, a journey we will take together, a new partnership with the widest possible engagement across the whole journal community.

We wish to acknowledge the women who accepted to join the Editorial Board panel of Annals of Intensive Care for their precious collaboration and generously contributing of their talent and time to the Journal development:
