These bold goals can be met in all parts of the world if nations follow through on their commitments to work together to meet them. Achieving the Millennium Development Goals offers the prospect of a more secure, just, and prosperous world for all. The UN Millennium Project was commissioned by United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan to develop a practical plan of action to meet the Millennium Development Goals. As an independent advisory body directed by Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs, the UN Millennium Project submitted its recommendations to the UN Secretary General in January 2005. ?The core of the UN Millennium Project's work has been carried out by 10 thematic Task Forces comprising more than 250 experts from around the world, including scientists, development practitioners, parliamentarians, policymakers, and representatives from civil society, UN agencies, the World Bank, the IMF, and the private sector. This report lays out the recommendations of the UN Millennium Project Task Force on Education and Gender Equality. The Task Force recommends seven strategic priorities: strengthen postprimary education for girls while ensuring universal primary education; guarantee sexual and reproductive health and rights; reduce women's and girls' time burdens; guarantee property and inheritance rights; eliminate gender inequality in employment; increase women's participation in government; and significantly reduce violence against women. Action on these priorities will enable countries in every region of the world to achieve gender equality and women's empowerment by 2015. 517 1 $aOn title page: UN Millennium Project 2005, Task Force on Education and Gender Equality 517 3 $aUN Millennium Project 2005 517 3 $aTask Force on Education and Gender Equality 606 $aWomen$xEducation$zDeveloping countries 606 $aEducational equalization$zDeveloping countries 606 $aWomen$xLegal status, laws, etc$zDeveloping countries 615 0$aWomen$xEducation 615 0$aEducational equalization 615 0$aWomen$xLegal status, laws, etc. 676 $a305.42 676 $a305.42091724 701 $aGrown$b Caren$01646565 701 $aGupta$b Geeta Rao$01761444 701 $aKes$b Aslihan$01761445 712 02$aUN Millennium Project.$bTask Force on Education and Gender Equality. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812052803321 996 $aTaking action$94200888 997 $aUNINA
