WOMEN'S HEALTH AND EMPOWERMENT: A PATH TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Health and women's empowerment are fundamentally intertwined aspects of human development. Women who are empowered have better health outcomes for themselves, their families, and their communities because they have greater access to education, resources, and decision-making authority. This paper proposes ways to promote gender equality and make healthcare more accessible, looks at the barriers imposed by socio-cultural and economic factors, and investigates the connection between women's empowerment and health.
