The Millennium Declaration acknowledges gender equality and empowering of women as specific targets and also as fundamental requirements to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. While these issues are cross-cutting in all Goals, Goal 3 encompasses three official indicators that aim at reflecting the degree of gender equality in education, employment, and political participation (D. Zapata, 2007/1 ).
By acknowledging that equality in each of these areas is a very important vehicle for women to reach their empowerment and to exert their rights, a number of works have been carried out at ECLAC/a . These works show that the official indicators are not sufficient to grasp all progress and challenges comprehensively in terms of gender equality and empowerment of women. In consequence, certain additional and supplementary indicators have been adapted to the regional reality, which relate to the full exercising of women rights to reproduce, inequalities at household level, and violence.
