Description
2021 is the beginning of the ‘decade of action’ to realise the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. It is imperative that every single person understands the goals, becomes familiar with them and takes individual and collective action to realise them if we want to live a quality life.SDG 5 in particular talks about Gender Equality which in our view is central to the realisation of the SDGs. Unfortunately in India, women in leadership positions are not visible and the numbers do not stack up. We have less than 10% representation of women in the State Legislative Assembly, 14% in Parliament, about 24% in the formal labour force which is declining year on year. If you cannot see her, you cannot be her. This book aims to showcase the journeys of women leaders in their respective fields and also in the realisation of the 17 SDGs through their work. We have scientists, police women, judges and business entrepreneurs who have shared their failures and successes. Through their unique perspectives they have shared on how despite one’s backgrounds one can achieve one’s goals, overcome socio-cultural barriers and contribute to the collective good.
