EQUALITY FOR WOMEN AND THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA

Abstract

Sustainable development is defined as development that meets current needs without jeopardizing future generations' ability to meet their own. In this paper, we will look at one of the United States 2030 Agenda's sustainable development goals.
Gender equality is not just a basic human right, but also a prerequisite for a world that is peaceful, affluent, and sustainable. The purpose of this article is to look into the necessity of gender equality for long-term development, the current role of women, and the role of education in empowering women. Because Indian society is patriarchal, women are discriminated against and dominated by their male counterparts in practically every industry. As a result, it is critical to understand gender issues and how they might be resolved. Education is a critical component in empowering women and girls and achieving gender equality in society. To ensure the nation's long-term viability, the government must take steps to formulate policies, conduct engagement and awareness programmes, and provide health care services, among other things, for the benefit of society and humanity at large.
