Empowering Minds, Shaping Futures: The Transformative Role of Education in Achieving Gender Equality | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

ABSTRACT

Gender equality stands as a significant challenge for developing nations in the 21st century. In many sectors of society, girls, women, and individuals of other gender identities are often perceived as weaker or less significant. Within male-dominated cultures, men typically wield control over the socio-economic status of women. Conversely, due to economic constraints, women often find themselves dependent on men for support. Empowering women and individuals of all gender identities emerges as the primary avenue for achieving gender equality. Education serves as a catalyst for gender equality reform by promoting awareness, empowerment, equal opportunities, leadership development, prevention of violence, policy advocacy, cultural transformation, and intersectional understanding. Investing in education is essential for achieving sustainable and inclusive gender equality.
