Description

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their influence in minimizing the gender inequality in modern world. This can be achieved by the empowerment of women by giving awareness on the women rights, child rights and ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities, economic stability, for all the women. And for the empowerment of women and girls to be realized through sustainable development, there needs to be more than a commitment to these goals. There must be concerted action across all nations and communities - dedicated resources should be provisioned to empower women of all ages and girls as part of the SDGs. Approaching gender equality as a crosscutting issue in the SDGs requires that gender is included at all stages of policy development, means of implementation, monitoring and accountability. The Sustainable Development Goals aim to build on the empowering women by quality education, good health and well-being, gender equality and achievements to ensure that there is an end to discrimination against women and girls everywhere. The very innate nature of women such as gentleness, patience, and perseverance, strongness, easily adoptable to the favorable and unfavorable conditions etc. makes them more suitable for the changing world through SDGs. This paper concludes by highlighting SDGs and their influence in minimizing the gender inequality and empowering women in the present modern world.
