 INTRODUCTION

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),

also known as the Global Goals, were
adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a
universal call to action to end poverty,
protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030
all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
Consequences of SDGS:

Sustainable development is a way to meet people's needs today

without stopping future generations from meeting theirs. Since
many of our natural resources can run out, it is our social
responsibility to use them wisely. That's why people are now
using more sustainable products and technologies. Learning
about these initiatives helps students develop insights into issues
around the world, such as lack of access to clean water and
gender equality.
 SCENARIO
GENDER EQUALITY:
DESCRIBE A SCENARIO WHERE GENDER DISCRIMINATION
HINDERS WOMEN PARTICIPATION IN THE WORKFORCE,
PROPOSE THE POLICIES AND INITIATIVES TO PROMOTE GENDER
EQUALITY AND EMPOWER WOMEN ECONOMICALLY
Description :

In many parts of the world, gender

discrimination continues to be a significant
barrier to women's full participation in the
workforce. Despite progress in some areas,
women still face numerous challenges that
hinder their ability to enter and thrive in various
industries.
 Challenges:
1. Limited Access to Education: Gender
inequality often restricts women's access to
quality education, limiting their
opportunities for personal and professional
growth.
2. Gender-Based Violence: Women frequently
face various forms of violence, including
domestic violence, sexual harassment, and
trafficking, which are exacerbated by
gender inequality.
3. Unequal Economic Opportunities:
Women often encounter barriers in
accessing employment, equal pay, and
career advancement opportunities
compared to men, leading to economic
dependency and poverty.
4. Lack of Political Representation:
Gender inequality hinders women's
participation and representation in
political decision-making processes,
limiting their influence on policies that
affect their lives.
5. Health Disparities: Women face
disparities in accessing healthcare
services, including reproductive health
care, leading to higher rates of
maternal mortality and other health
issues.
6. Discriminatory Legal Systems: Many
legal systems discriminate against
women, including laws related to
inheritance, property rights, and
marriage, reinforcing gender inequality
and perpetuating injustices.
 ECONOMIC IMPACT:

Gender inequality limits women's economic participation, which can hinder

overall community development and economic growth.

SOCIAL IMPACT:

Gender-based violence and discrimination create a culture of fear and

insecurity within the community, affecting social cohesion and trust.
 HEALTH IMPACT:

Health disparities and limited access to healthcare services for

women can lead to higher rates of illness and mortality, impacting
the overall health and well-being of the community.

POLITICAL IMPACT:
Lack of female representation in political decision-making
processes can result in policies that do not adequately address the
needs and concerns of women and girls in the community.
EDUCATIONAL IMPACT:

Limited access to education for girls and women can perpetuate

cycles of poverty and inequality within the community,
hindering overall educational attainment and socio-economic
development.

LEGAL IMPACT:

Discriminatory legal systems can perpetuate injustices

and inequalities within the community, affecting
access to justice and the rule of law for women and
marginalized groups.
