Our Impact Report 2024

2024 marked a turbulent year for gender equality around the world, defined by rising backlash, pockets of progress, and volatile political shifts. The spread of mis- and disinformation continued to undermine trust in data and evidence, weakening the foundations needed for effective advocacy and policy action.

These pressures unfolded at a time when 74% of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets cannot be achieved without gender equality, no country is currently on track to meet this goal by 2030, and 40% of countries are stagnating or even regressing on women’s rights. As a result, 2.4 billion women and girls continue to live in environments with ‘poor’ or ‘very poor’ levels of gender equality, underscoring the persistent and widespread nature of the challenge.

Amid this shifting global landscape, our coalition remains committed to advancing gender equality. Equal Measures 2030 works from a simple premise: collective action becomes more powerful when it is grounded in credible evidence. Our mission is to ensure feminist movements, advocates, and decision makers have the data they need to influence policies, shape public debate, and drive accountability.

Our use of data has shown to be an effective and collective way to track progress, push for effective change, and advocate to keep gender equality at the top of global agendas.

This 2024 Impact Report captures this work, the challenges we’ve faced and the lessons we’ve learnt.
