MY WORLD is a Global Survey for citizens led by the United Nations and partners. Through creative online and offline methods MY World asks individuals which six of sixteen possible issues they think would make the most difference to their lives. The issues have been built up from the priorities expressed by poor people in existing research and polling exercises and they cover the existing Millennium Development Goals, plus issues of sustainability, security, governance and transparency. The objective of this volunteer opportunity is to encourage people to vote Equality between Men and Women as one of the sixteen priorities in the MY WORLD Survey. REF considers one of the main challenges for the Post-2015 Development Agenda would be to address equal access to justice and human rights of women and men. As such, we want to encourage citizens and promote awareness on gender challenges and obstacles for women’s integral development.
