Abstract
Gender equality and women empowerment are central to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, reflected directly in Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5) and indirectly across other goals. Ensuring equal opportunities for women in education, employment, politics, and decision-making not only enhances social justice but also contributes to inclusive economic growth and environmental sustainability. This article explores the significance of gender equality in achieving SDGs, identifies the challenges faced by women globally, and highlights strategies, policies, and best practices that can accelerate progress. It concludes that gender equality is not simply a moral imperative but also an economic and social necessity for sustainable development.
