05 Foreword The 19th century philosopher John Stewart Mill famously said, “wives should have the same rights and should receive the protection of the law in the same manner as all other persons.” I wonder if it would surprise him to know that 160 years after he wrote these words, gender equality remains elusive to millions of girls and women around the world. Until the push for equality is recognized not only as a human right, but as a push for development, it will continue to elude them. Without empowering girls and women – without allowing them to make informed decisions about their own sexual and reproductive health – the injustices they face will erode any health gains achieved in the era of the Sustainable Development Goals. Gender equality is the linchpin to enduring progress in maternal, child, and adolescent health, and beyond. Through the Deliver for Good campaign, Women Deliver is highlighting strategies and best practices that emphasize the crucial link between gender equality and broader development goals, such as education, eradicating poverty, and adapting to a quickly changing climate. While the campaign illustrates the social, economic, and legal injustices girls and women face, it also recognizes their vast, untapped potential, and all that families, communities, and countries stand to gain by eliminating the obstacles that prevent them from realizing their potential. As the following pages show us, the evidence is clear and uncontested. It’s now a matter of whether we care enough to do something. Do we? Do you? Richard Horton, Editor-in-Chief
