With the end of the Cold War and the opening to debates in international relations that go beyond international security, it became possible to insert other social debates that are also concerning to the international community, such as environmental and gender issues. Gender relations are described as social constructions historically established by interest groups that allow a relationship of domination, with women's roles established as inferior in the society, which is also reflected in the international context. These harmful relations of patriarchal domination have become a recurrent debate within international organizations, especially within the framework of the United Nations (UN), which established through the Millennium Development Goals (2000-2015) the need for gender equality as an international measure to promote equal development among countries and decrease rates of violence and inequality. Building on the satisfactory results of the Millennium Development Goals, the United Nations has broadened the spectrum of these to a greater return to recognized contemporary issues to ensure socially, economically, politically and environmentally sustainable development through 17 goals agreed to be met in the period between 2015 and 2030, denominated the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals follow stated human rights concepts and can be inserted in the debate on environmental justice, where a better distribution of risks and resources among the most environmentally vulnerable populations is proposed, which is due to the inclination of the goals to targets for the distribution of essential resources for human life, guarantee of fair and equitable institutions, adaptation to climate change and gender equality. This paper aims to demonstrate the centrality of goal 5 - gender equality and women’s empowerment - in the context of fulfilling all the other goals in an integrated way. From this, this paper notes the need for Brazil to meet the gender equality goals to establish itself as a global potential committed to international sustainable development for a more egalitarian national scenario. In this regard, the recent gender positions in Brazil are analyzed through the SDGs indicators for national measurement, where many barriers are found in the Brazilian gender scenario, making it necessary for the country to better adapt its policies aimed at combating violence against women, better distribution of productive environmental and technological resources, better inclusion of women in political debates and better recognition of women as a full actor of great importance for national development so that their the country can fully achieve the agreed 2030 Agenda.
