WOMEN EMPOWERMENT AND CULTURAL SUSTAINABILITY

Ms. Chanika Chand

Change is the law of nature and because to its dynamic character, we observe developments as per the time and demands of people but, in today’s modern world these advances are taking place with few or even no gaps. Sustainable development enters the picture when there is enough of everything for everyone to use but nothing left over for the next generation. The term "sustainable development" was first used in the Brundtland report in 1987, and it refers to the measures that nations must take to address the problems caused by climate change. It also refers to the principles that governments must adhere to in order to meet the needs of their current population while protecting natural resources for future generations. Four pillars support sustainable development: cultural diversity preservation, economic growth, environmental protection, and social development. We often link gender equality and women's empowerment to social development, and we fail to account for the contributions that natural resources and women make to global development. For this reason, the first similarity I see between women's unpaid labour and natural resources is that both groups are portrayed as giving, undemanding, and a source of limitless services that are frequently left unaccounted for. Greater gender equality is defined as equal chances for all societal segments; it is linked to a nation's improved health and educational outcomes, inclusive economic growth, and increased competitiveness on the global stage. The healthcare, education, and environmental sectors are greatly impacted by women's economic engagement; women's participation also contributes to the smooth cycle of development. Let's not make domestic work an automatic decision for women; instead, we need to create a more accountable and dignified system for women who are homemakers. If women were to cease caring for their families and stop doing the household chores for free, economies would suffer. As a result, empowering women in developing nations is both a wise and beneficial idea.
