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 combat 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."--BOOK JACKET
