Women in Decision-Making Positions in Politics, Business, Land Ownership, and Peacebuilding

Sustainable developments of a nation may not be able to achieve without equal participation of both women and men in the decision-making positions in the economy, society, and political spheres. Many jurisdictions are advocating to develop and implement policy and legal reforms to accelerate equal participation of women in decision-making in the household, community, corporate governance, and in peacemaking processes. Nevertheless, holding a decision-making position does not mean women are allowed to make influential decisions until the society believes in women’s capabilities which are often clouded with patriarchal ideologies.
