Abstract

Sustainable development cannot be attained without the leadership and full participation of women at all levels of society and decision-making. Moreover sustainable development sought without the meaningful involvement of women cannot be equitable. A gender perspective is one of the most forward looking and socially just approaches in the analysis of sustainable development. The status and contribution of women in sustainable development is to be appreciated and encouraged.
