Making the Sustainable
Development Goals Work
for Women.

3. • In 1987, the Bruntland Commission published
its report, Our Common Future, in an effort to
link the issues of economic development and
environmental stability.
• Gender equality is a goal in its own right
enshrined in SDG 5 and it cuts across all 17
SDGs within the Agenda, which contains 45
targets and 54 indicators related to gender
equality.
Introduction

5. Objectives
• To raising awareness of the benefits of gender
equality as key priority in Bangladesh.
• To explore the result if women contribute together
with men in making full use of their potential in the
economic, social, cultural and environmental
spheres.
• To promoting equality for men and women has
provided the legal framework to eliminate
discrimination on the basis of sex in a number of
areas including employment, education and
vocational guidance, discriminatory advertising for
employment and sexual harassment at the
workplace among others.

6. Methodology
•The research has used a combination of both qualitative
and quantitative tools covering key informant interviews,
focus group discussions and online surveys .
•As researcher used both qualitative and quantitative
data. Qualitative data are collected through primary
source by interviewing via E-mail and questionnaires
survey held via internet for reaching mass people.
Quantitative data collected through secondary source
such as books, literature, reports and documents.
•Keeping in mind the exploratory nature of study opinions
from the two sexes were selected so, that respondents
belonged to extreme sex role specific and to neutral
disposition.

7. Findings
•As indicated by both theory and evidence, the lack of progress on
gender equality may be at the heart of the failure to advance on
sustainable development
•There is a bidirectional relationship of economic development &
women empowerment .
•The gap between the rules, policies and women welfare
programmes and the real system needs to be narrow down in
order to ensure safety and security to the living community.
•Research is needed to test the hypothesis that women are more
risk-averse than men and that women leaders would be more apt
to follow sustainable development pathways.
•The gap in policy and practice in women’s empowerment is most
visible when it comes to the level and kinds of violence women
face.

8. Recommendation
•We call for a comprehensive approach to developing
SDGs from a gender and human rights perspective.
•Good governance, which includes consistent
enforcement of law and order and full and effective
participation of women in decision-making and
restorative justice are pre-conditions for sustainable
development.
•There also is a need to incorporate qualitative data
to monitor progress throughout all areas.
•Good monitoring.
