Empowering Women, Building Sustainable Assets - Strengthening the depth of gender lens investing across asset classes

The report aims to reflect the diverse range of gender lens investing models and practices while also highlighting
the potential challenges and contradictions they pose to feminist agendas. In this context, the report considers
how impact funds can strengthen gender lens investing (GLI) to pave the way for inclusive and sustainable
development that leaves no woman or girl behind. 

With this report, UN Women calls on collective action and invites all stakeholders to join our efforts to advance financing for gender equality, including through private finance, and jointly lead and shape the path to a more inclusive and sustainable economy and to drive accountability for the achievement of SDG 5.
