WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Achieving gender equality, supporting girls and women at all levels, and increasing women's leadership continue to be major challenges in building a sustainable society and future.

While achieving gender rights and equality and increasing women's leadership are driving forces for development progress, women are unable to realize their full potential due to social, economic and political inequalities and gender-based violence and discrimination.

Sustainable Development Goal 5 emphasizes the vital role of women and the need for equal participation and leadership in all aspects of sustainable development. In order to make progress on the path to this goal, the conference is being organized by Stanford University, Eva Women's University, and representatives from Northeast, Central Asia, Southeast, and South Asia.

Increasing the participation and leadership of women in all spheres of social life and ensuring equal opportunities and equal participation of men and women at the decision-making level can be understood as not only the goal of development, but also an important means of achieving development.
