Despite this, on an average, the situation of Pakistani women in compare with men is one of systemic gender relegations, although there have been attempts by the government and progressive groups to elevate their status in society. Digital tools represent one way for women to escape violence, but also give abusers the possibility to increase their control. But the progress has been uneven, particularly in Africa, least developed countries, landlocked developing countries, and small island developing States, and some of the MDGs remain off-track, in particular those related to maternal, newborn and child health and to reproductive health. In Oceania, excluding Australia and New Zealand, and in sub-Saharan Africa, only 10 per cent and 22 per cent, respectively, of people above retirement age received a pension in 2016. 14.a Increase scientific knowledge, develop research capacity and transfer marine technology, taking into account the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Criteria and Guidelines on the Transfer of Marine Technology, in order to improve ocean health and to enhance the contribution of marine biodiversity to the development of developing countries, in particular small island developing States and least developed countries 12.8 By 2030, ensure that people everywhere have the relevant information and awareness for sustainable development and lifestyles in harmony with nature In the public sector, some countries are also expanding flexible working options to help parents juggle work and care.

A robust, voluntary, effective, participatory, transparent and integrated follow-up and review framework will make a vital contribution to implementation and will help countries to maximize and track progress in implementing this Agenda in order to ensure that no one is left behind. As one example, the European Family Justice Centre Alliance (ECFJA) which works to build cross-sectoral cooperation between professionals working on violence against women and children has issued a set of guidelines on how professionals might need to adjust practice in light of the crisis (ECFJA, 2020[68]).

The themes for the subsequent Multistakeholder Forum on Science Technology and Innovation for the SDGs will be considered by the High Level Political Forum on sustainable development, taking into account expert inputs from the Task Team. These provided an important framework for development and significant progress has been made in a number of areas. 41. If growth rates during those 10 years prevail for the next 15 years, the global extreme poverty rate will likely fall to 4 per cent by 2030, assuming that growth benefits all income groups of the population equally. 56.
