Abstract

Achieving UN SDGs is crucial for the people of the world to live complete and satisfying lives. The role of women in achieving the goals cannot be overemphasized. It becomes all the more important with women leaders of international organizations, as women are considered to be zealous and highly committed to the causes they take up. It is important to highlight the women leaders who are working towards the achievement of UN SDGs. The chapter examined the works of UN Women and UN GC women leaders towards achievement of the UN SDGs with support of the data available in the respective websites.
