Sustainable development can be well achieved when democracy prevails. This is further possible when women are able to play a lead role in contributing to the development of the society. The book highlights the importance of gender equality, women’s engagement and contribution towards media, democracy, good governance and politics. On the other hand, it also highlights how domestic violence, harassment and other forms of violence against women could hinder their contribution towards development.
