Women, Gender and Development (WGD)

Women, Gender and Development (WGD) is a framework that examines how gender roles and inequalities influence social, economic, and political development. It emphasizes understanding and addressing the specific challenges women face and promoting gender equity. WGD recognizes that development progress is incomplete without empowering women and ensuring equal opportunities, rights, and participation in decision-making. It seeks to transform societal norms and structures that restrict women’s potential, fostering more inclusive and sustainable growth for all members of society.
