In September 2000, 189 UN member states met in New York and agreed to a series of goals called the Millennium Development Goals to address extreme poverty and human rights issues by 2015. The eight goals included eradicating extreme poverty and hunger; achieving universal primary education; promoting gender equality; reducing child and maternal mortality; combating diseases like HIV/AIDS and malaria; ensuring environmental sustainability; and developing a global partnership for development.
