GENDER AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA
GENDER AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA

Summary/Abstract: Gender related to development is a increasingly discussed topic, especially in the postdevelopment theories, because the development process affects women and men differently. The paper examines the influence of sustainable development on the status of women in India, through development programs for the women’s emancipation. Two research methods were considered in addressing the topic: the qualitative method of document analysis and the quantitative method of statistical data analysis. The paper concludes that joint efforts and resources of the government and non-governmental organizations are necessary for women’s emancipation and that providing minimal access to public services, especially in rural areas, where a patriarchal society still predominates, can be considered an important step in this direction.
