Equality and Opportunity

“No individual and no nation must be denied the opportunity to benefit from development. The equal rights and opportunities of women and men must be assured”.* Promote gender equality and empower women. A global partnership for development (MDG 1-8).
  • How can humanity express Equality and Opportunity through the Millennium Development Goals?
  • If we agree that we share the value of Equality and Opportunity, in what ways could this help us to achieve the MDGs?
  1. Is Equality and Opportunity a shared value?
  2. If so, can Equality and Opportunity be expressed through one or more of the MDGs?
  3. If we live the value of Equality and Opportunity, could we accomplish these MDGs?
  4. If so, what are the obstacles to achieving this?
  5. What can we do to overcome these obstacles?
