content | "<p><strong>Finding the connections between SDGS</strong></p> <p>One of the valuable parts of the Sustainable Development more generally, and the SDGs specifically, is that approach assumes a deep interconnectedness between social, economic and environmental issues and each of the SDGs. For example, if the global community ensures education for all, it helps women become more equal members of the workforce, and in turn alleviate poverty and empowers more marginalized communities to protect the land and water that are critical to their livelihoods and that provide food and clean water. </p> <p>An SDG or similar knowledge framework can offer an accessible, i<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersectionality" target="[object Object]">ntersectional form of communication</a> about other issues. For example, the Wikimedia Movement’s WikiForHumanRights Campaign has opened up space for communities to organize around both Human Rights and Climate Change and other Environmental Justice issues. Neither a pure Climate change or pure Human Rights campaign would have included such a wide group of stakeholders.</p> <p>The same can be said for SDG 5: working on Women’s Equality inevitably unearths the issues highlighted in the other SDGS. <br /><br />Watch the video below and ask yourself: how might intersectional knowledge gaps in the SDGS help you build focused events and activities for different audiences?</p> <p></p>" |
