Introduction The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a normative global vision for worldwide social improve�ments and progress [1]. Central to achieving these goals is continued progress in promoting healthy lives and wellbeing for all people, especially marginalised and vulnerable populations [2]; progress can be hindered by conditions of inequity [3, 4]. The SDGs also provide guid�ance on global efforts to improve gender equity, with targets that relate to ending gender-based discrimination and resource allocation, recognising and supporting women in leadership positions, addressing the issue of unpaid care, stopping harmful and unhealthy practices, improving sexual and reproductive health and strengthen�ing policy in these areas. In practice, the endeavour of building healthy communities is enmeshed with efforts to overcome inequity. 30901 Wiegmen Road, Hayward, CA 94544, USA and Department of Medicine, Case Western Reserve University, Case Medical Center- 11100 Euclid Ave, Cleveland, OH 44106, USA.
