Abstract

Gender equality and women’s empowerment are fundamental principles in contemporary development policies. This essay explores the intrinsic link between developing policies and enhancing women’s voices in the context of gender justice and sustainable development. It traces the evolution from the Women in Development (WID) approach to the Gender and Development (GAD) perspective, emphasizing the importance of addressing the root causes of gender inequality. The essay additionally explores the dynamics of the redistribution and recognition perspectives in gender justice, emphasising their mutually supportive characteristics. Furthermore, it underscores the significance of women’s participation in development policies, demonstrating how their inclusion leads to more comprehensive and effective outcomes. Examples from India’s forest conservation and Ethiopia’s sustainable development initiatives illustrate how women’s voices can be empowered through policy measures. The paper concludes by stressing the vital role of development policies in advancing women’s progress and advocating for a concerted global effort to address gender disparities, recognizing that every step toward gender equality is a step toward human progress.
