The book highlights the necessity for standards to be inclusive and reflective of the diverse population, aligning with UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 5 on gender equality. It advocates for the involvement of women in technical committees to ensure equitable outcomes and enhance standard credibility. The target audience includes policymakers, standardization experts, and organizations aiming to create equitable standards.
