Among the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda is number 5, whichaims to achieve gender equality. Andalusian public universities have incorporated this perspective in their International Development Cooperation projects. This researchstudies the initiatives developed by the University of Malaga in relation to volunteeringand how they include the goals of SDG 5. To achieve this objective, a content analysisof the report published by the institution, semi-structured questionnaires to those responsiblefor these projects and a review of the scientific literature are used to establishthe categories of the study. The results indicate that the lines of action of the projectsdeployed by the UMA cover aspects such as training and research on cooperation, thestrengthening of these institutions in their geographical areas of action and the disseminationof these programmes. The gender perspective is transversally present in thesegoals. In conclusion, working from the University on SDG 5 is relevant to achieve theempowerment of women in developing countries, while at the same time it constitutesa tool to involve the internal public of these institutions.
