SDG Target #16.b

SDG #16 is to “Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels”

Within SDG #16 are 12 targets, of which we here focus on Target 16.b:

Promote and enforce non-discriminatory laws and policies for sustainable development

Target 16.b has one indicator:

  • Indicator 16.b.1: Proportion of population reporting having personally felt discriminated against or harassed in the previous 12 months on the basis of a ground of discrimination prohibited under international human rights law

Many countries are missing data for this indicator. Among those with data in 2022, the countries with the smallest shares of discrimination reported by adults, each with less than 5%, were:

  • Cuba

  • Finland

  • Belarus

  • Vietnam
