Ways to Empower Women for Sustainable Development
As issues of women’s economic empowerment and gender equality gain momentum on the global stage, nations across the globe are implementing incredible measures to reduce thegender gap and promote economic equality. To play your part in the movement, some of the ways we can follow of achieving women’s economic empowerment for a sustainable development are discussed below:
1. Place women as leaders and give them decision making roles
Although many women are now powerful contributors to the economy of some states, gender equality is still a myth in the greater part of the world. Women have actively started participating in the tech industry, food production, natural resource management, domestic wellness, entrepreneurial work, as well as energy and climate change. But, most women still don’t have access to good job opportunities and resources to get a better-paid job. As the focus shifts towards inclusive economic structures, providing women with leadership opportunities and making them a part of decision making can go a long way in achieving women’s empowerment.
2. More Job Opportunities for Women:
Despite being significant contributors to social and financial development, women don’t have access to equal job opportunities. Equal rights programmes can invest significantly in promoting decent jobs and public policies, advocating growth and development.
3. Invest in Women’s Entrepreneurial Ideas, Emotionally and Financially:
An effective way of tackling gender inequality is entrusting women with entrepreneurial work. The state can take initiatives to train women in business skills for better job opportunities. Looking at the global developments, many developing countries are spending a percentage of annual revenues in women’s developments. By investing in women’s education and providing them with entrepreneurial opportunities, the unequal pay gap can be ruled out from the socio-economic scene, encouraging women to increase their participation in the supply chain.
