The process of globalization has a significant impact on the economic standing of the different genders, since not everyone benefits equally from its effects. There is an impression that the political agenda to incorporate the gender perspective runs through very divisive paths. This gap that separates both worlds more and more is being denounced with force and clarity by the feminists, who consider these policies as racist, sexist and imperialist and in many ways oblivious to their national, cultural and religious interests.
The commitment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to "leave no one behind" constitutes a promise to dismantle inequality and bring down discrimination. The results for women and girls - their diverse and common experiences - are critical indicators to check whether or not the Sustainable Development Goals meet their promises.
