Women, Gender, and Development

Women, Gender, and Development (WGD) is an approach that explores how gender roles and expectations influence economic, social, and political opportunities. It seeks to understand and address inequalities faced by women and marginalized genders, emphasizing their empowerment and participation in development processes. WGD recognizes that gender is a social construct affecting individuals' access to resources, rights, and decision-making power. By promoting gender awareness and equity, WGD aims to create inclusive growth that benefits everyone, ensuring that development benefits are shared fairly across all genders.
