Description
Sustainable development is a means for the overall development of a country or nation. It meets the need of the present without comprising the future generation’s ability to meet theirs. But there are barriers to sustainable development, though technological changes and policies or frameworks to address these barriers. According to the Brundtland Report, sustainable development is the one that ensures the needs of the present are fulfilled. The aim of the paper “Violence against women is a barrier to Sustainable Development” is to analyze how violence against women is a barrier for achieving sustainable development goals concerning Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5- Gender equity. Violence against women is a pervasive issue; it is not only a threatening life issue for women but a barrier to the sustainable development of a society too.
