This post is part of a series produced by The Huffington Post, "What's Working: Sustainable Development Goals," in conjunction with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The proposed set of milestones will be the subject of discussion at the UN General Assembly meeting on Sept. 25-27, 2015 in New York. The goals, which will replace the UN's Millennium Development Goals (2000-2015), cover 17 key areas of development -- including poverty, hunger, health, education, and gender equality, among many others. The What's Working SDG blog series will focus on one goal every weekday in September. This post addresses Goal 5.
When a girl doesn't show up for school here in Zimbabwe, there is no shoulder-shrugging among the "Mothers' Groups" formed to bridge the occasional divide between home and school life.

"Why is your 12-year-old daughter not in school?" one mother might ask of another. She may learn that the mother has taken a new job as a farm hand far away and needs her daughter to do chores at home. Or perhaps the family is ashamed to send their daughter to school without sanitary pads. Whatever the reason, the Mothers' Groups will help the family find a solution. Their system rests on a fundamental principle: accountability. And that accountability grows out of shared respect, trust and support among the mothers.

© 2011 Josh Estey/CARE Based on shared trust and respect, Mothers' Groups in Zimbabwe support girls' education and value accountability as a necessary means of achieving their goals.

Based on shared trust and respect, Mothers' Groups in Zimbabwe support girls' education and value accountability as a necessary means of achieving their goals.

The nations of the world must create a system with that same kind of accountability when the UN General Assembly meets later this month in New York to ratify the Sustainable Development Goals, which lay out a path for ending global poverty, confronting climate change and closing equality gaps by 2030. Like the Mothers' Groups in Zimbabwe, countries must ask each other the hard questions as they fund, implement and measure the goals at the national level. Accountability is particularly critical in realizing the promise of Sustainable Development Goal 5, which calls for gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls.

Countries must challenge each other to track progress toward achieving the goals -- progress that in the case of Goal 5 will come by ending all forms of discrimination and violence against women and girls and by ensuring women's full participation in political, economic and public life. And when there are gaps or lack of progress, there must be a system forcing meaningful follow up to fix the problem.

Reaching many of the other 16 goals, after all, requires progress on gender equality. There are no safe and inclusive cities and human settlements (Goal 11) unless we prevent and eliminate violence against women and girls. There is no ending poverty in all its forms (Goal 1) unless growing numbers of women have land rights, access to financial services and are allowed their seat at the decision-making tables of their communities and households. It isn't possible to ensure healthy lives for all ages (Goal 3) as long as young girls are forced into marriage at a rate of one more every two seconds around the world. And we won't promote life-long learning opportunities for all (Goal 4) until girls have equal access to school and time to pursue the education that is rightfully theirs.

Truly responding to the needs of girls is the only way we can create the world we want for 2030. Here in Zimbabwe, for instance, "time poverty" is a significant and often-overlooked barrier to girls' education. Too many girls don't have time to play with other girls or to do the things that children should be doing because they have so many other responsibilities.

In some places, girls carry six times the workload as their brothers . That can make them late for school -- or keep them out of school altogether. Meeting the gender-equality mandate in Goal 5 means those responsibilities are more evenly allocated. And the consequences of not opening up more opportunities for girls can, in a very real sense, be a matter of life or death. Uneducated girls are three times more likely to marry early . That means they are more likely to have babies early ( 90 percent of all adolescent pregnancies are those of married girls ), and because their young bodies are not ready to give birth, they are more likely to experience health complications -- or even to die. In fact, childbirth is a leading killer of adolescent girls in the developing world.

But gender equality and women and girls' empowerment can turn the tide by fostering an environment in which women and girls have access to the tools they need to climb higher: an education, for example, or income-generating skills or sexual-, reproductive- and maternal-health services that allow them to plan and space their pregnancies -- which means a healthier baby and a healthier mom.

For these reasons and many more, we should celebrate the standalone goal on gender equality as a huge step in the right direction. But we as a global community won't trek far toward achieving it without accompanying measures that hold governments accountable -- for the ways in which resources are spent, but also for the quality and accessibility of services those funds make possible.

The Sustainable Development Goals will frame a 15-year path toward greater opportunity -- particularly for women and girls -- and they will heavily influence how an estimated $2.5 trillion in global aid will be spent over that period. More must be done, however, to ensure that specific accountability measures are defined, instituted and funded -- and that the world's countries, like so many mothers in Zimbabwe, hold each other accountable.

Update posted by April Humble On Sep 29, 2015

I have just arrived back in Berlin from Kos. What a place of tragedy and mayhem and filled with such courageous beautiful people arriving there.

People need shoes from their long treks across counties, so with your money I bought shoes, people need socks for warmth after arriving in the night, freezing cold and wet, so I bought many pairs of socks, people need rucksacks to carry their essential belongings with the, so I bought many rucksacks, everyone needs rain jackets as they have no homes and the winter is coming, so I bought hundreds of rain ponchos. When people were bored after waiting on this island for days with nothing and no where to go, with your money I sometimes gave them cash to go to a cafe with their mates, allowing them to feel normal again for a while. Having raised so much for you generous people, gave me the reason to go to Kos, which gave me the chance to have the honour to support refugees as they arrived on boats during the night, help people seek medical attention, to helping people sort their tickets to move on to Athens. In the mornings when people were waiting until late afternoon for the breakfast to arrive, I helped supply croissants, fruit and water to kids and parents.

I spent the last few days in and around Bodrum, one of the main leaving points for refugees going to Kos and the surrounding islands. The situation there is also tragic, but like Kos, there is a system in place for food and water distribution. I spent some time in the mountains where the refugees hide out before the are given their boat and life jackets by the people smugglers to cross to Europe. I met a group of 12 Pakistani men, who's boat were meant to take the boat to Kos that night. They never arrived.

The life jackets are a scam. Most of the time, they are filled with hard, plastic form, which at worst drags you down. Because of this, if possible, I want to turn my efforts to the sea, and keep people alive when crossing.

This will be a far bigger operation, which will take some time to see if it is feasible, and if it is, your funds can help start. But I will need much more, so keep sharing as you like.

Thank you all so so much for your support xxxxx it has made this possible and to help ease peoples first steps in Europe in their brutal and epic journeys.

Much love to you

Lila May Schow is a 5-year-old from Hood River, Oregon, who has been battling stage 4 neuroblastoma cancer for three years.

According to local CBS affiliate KOIN, Lila May stopped getting chemotherapy treatments. Her doctors told the family treatment is no longer an option because her body isn't strong enough. She is expected to live until around Thanksgiving.

Figuring it would be Lila's last birthday, her parents Heidi Hall and Ryan Schow decided to make her upcoming celebration extra special and started a Facebook group to get things organized.

He told local ABC affiliate KATU he was thankful for the support: "We wouldn't have gotten this far and been able to fight this hard without all the help we've been given. We're so very grateful for that. It's all about making a little girl smile."

Cambodia is one of the most corrupt countries in Asia. 60% of Cambodians are small-plot rice farming families. If these families can earn enough money, they can stay on their land, put their kids through education.

A cow can bring $400 extra income to a family per year, that almost doubles the income of a normal Cambodia rice farming family.
