I will be addressing about reduce inequality within and among countries. Four targets out of 10 are: 1.

Each and every individual, no matter which religion or tribe he/she belongs to, must get equal rights and opportunities without discrimination. Disadvantaged and vulnerable population must be protected and represent in public and social life. The law must be guaranteed for the protection of migrant workers and reduction in the transaction cost on remittance. Although, it's human rights of all people to get protected and respected; even in this 21st century people are struggling due to inequality that exists hugely. Don't forget, we can't acheive sustainable development of we exclude any part of world's population. |
