Understanding the Intersection of Gender Equality and Religion in Agenda 2030
Agenda-2030, gender equality, religion, SWOT analysis, women
Gender equality and religion have a complicated relationship. Religion is essential in many parts of the world for any society's social, cultural, economic, and political development. This study examines how various religious traditions, denominations, and interpretations affect gender norms and stereotypes through systematically analysing the literature and empirical evidence. It investigates scenarios in which religious beliefs can encourage or hinder the growth of gender equality. Therefore, the research problem cited for the study is that women play a significant role in religion. However, in their religious community, there is an absence of neutrality at the highest decision-making level, which shows contradiction. While acknowledging the complexity of the problem, we can say that some religious traditions and norms may have a hand in demoralising the role of women in society and the perpetuation of gender inequality. The present study examines the intersectionality between gender equality and religion in the context of Agenda 2030 in India. The deductive research technique, based on qualitative data collected through secondary sources, is used for the present study. The paper uses an exploratory research design. The study uses SWOT analysis to reach the findings. This study concluded that over two decades have passed since adopting the Beijing Platform for action. No country has achieved absolute gender equality despite advances for women in legislation, society, and the economy. As the world's nations begin the enormous task of reaching this objective, an unprecedented number of human and material resources will be required to accomplish Agenda 2030.
