Description

From Margins to Mainstream: Women's Role in Sustainable Development is a compelling exploration of how women, often side-lined in traditional development narratives, are now emerging as central figures in the global pursuit of sustainability. This book examines the evolving role of women in environmental conservation, social equity, and economic resilience across diverse cultures and communities.

Blending academic insights, real-world case studies, and policy analysis, the book highlights the critical contributions of women in areas such as climate change mitigation, natural resource management, and grassroots activism. It also sheds light on the systemic barriers they face and the transformative impact of inclusive, gender- sensitive development practices.

Ideal for students, researchers, policymakers, and activists, this book is both a call to action and a roadmap for integrating gender equity into the heart of sustainable development efforts. By bringing women’s voices from the margins to the mainstream, it redefines what true progress looks like in the 21st century.
