This term is closely linked to SDG 5, "gender equality", although reports of its evolution and academic articles show that GLI does not cover all the targets of this sustainable goal. The purpose of the present study is to analyze 15 aspects that derive from SDG 5 targets in 20 GLI-focused documents in order to detect those aspects that are emphasized, and those that are barely mentioned.
