Southeast Asian countries have recently made strong commitments to gender equality, notably through the regional policy framework provided by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). However, these commitments have not yet translated into enough progress to put the region on track to reach Sustainable Development Goal 5, “Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls”, by 2030. In Southeast Asia, gender inequality is underpinned by plural legal systems and worsening social norms At the heart of this failure to accelerate progress lies the crucial role that discrimination in social institutions continues to play across the region.
