Equinet Working Group focuses on Sustainable Development

The agency gave a presentation at Equinet (the European Network for Equality Bodies) Working Group on Policy Formation on 26 March in Brussels.

It highlighted the role that National Equality Bodies can play in implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development focusing on Equality. FRA stressed that its work is guided by the core SDG principle of 'Leave no one behind' and provided examples of relevant data on specific groups left behind in Europe such as Roma and people with disabilities.

It also referred to the joint side event organised with Equinet at the recent UNECE Regional Forum on Sustainable Developments which highlighted the importance of disaggregated data to better reach those groups left behind.
