Abstract The concept of Sustainable development rests upon the four pillars: social development, economic growth, environmental conservation, and the safeguarding cultural diversity. Social development, being the most pivotal, aims for building a society where each individual, regardless of their gender, has the opportunity to achieve their full potential. In our journey towards progress, both men and women had played indispensable roles yet, historically there has been a tendency to view women as the ‘weaker’ gender; such perceptions are detrimental to the growth of society as a whole. Undoubtedly, Gender equality is a pre-requisite for meeting the challenge of reducing poverty, promoting sustainable development and building good governance. The gender inequality remains pervasive and had been hindering social advancement and national progress; the empowerment, autonomy, augmentation of political, social, economic and health status of women is a crucial end, in itself. By empowering women and unleashing their potential, one can pave the way for a brighter and equitable future that benefits entire of humanity. To foster global development, we must promote increased female engagement, acknowledge shortcomings, and effectively implement policies. Governments around the world are implementing various initiatives and programs to promote women's empowerment. The legal steps taken for women's empowerment are pivotal for fostering a fairer, more inclusive society. The purpose of this paper is an attempt to examine and analyse the constitutional safeguards, social and economic policies implemented by the government for sustainable progress of women.
