Sustainable development depends on an equitable distribution of resources and it cannot be achieved without gender equality. Gender Equity is the process of allocating resources, programs, and decision making fairly to both males and females without any discrimination on the basis of sex…and addressing any imbalances in the benefits available to males and females. Diane Elson, an adviser to UN Women, argues in her contribution that "the disproportionate responsibility that women bear for carrying out unpaid work is an important constraint on their capacity to realize their rights... Both women and men need time to care for their families and communities, and time free from such care." Women's empowerment is a key factor for achieving sustainability. Sustainable development and sustainability have various meaning .Sometime it may be equitable distribution of resources and opportunities or living within the limits or sometime it may be defined as understanding the interconnections among economy, society, and environment. Sustainable development is based on the principles of democracy and the rule of law and respect for fundamental rights including freedom and equal opportunities for all. Sustainability cannot exist without equity in the distributional process. Women and girls are crucial contributors, implementers and beneficiaries of sustainable development. At the Sustainable Development Summit on 25 September 2015, UN Member States adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which includes a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and tackle climate change by 2030. Women's empowerment through gender equality is a cross-cutting development issue, and unless addressed in multidimensional way, gender equality will not become a reality. Women's contribution to sustainable development must be recognized. Women have a strong role in education and socializing their children, including teaching them care and responsibility. In order to build women as catalyst for sustainable development, their role in family, community and society at large has to free from socio-cultural and religious traditions that prevent women participation. The secondary data will be used for this paper. The objective of this paper is to highlights the essentials of women contribution in sustainable development as partner and beneficiaries.

Tourism is considered a vehicle of development. It has potential to contribution to economic development of backward areas and communities. It creates paths towards the elimination of poverty among women in developing countries. Tourism is presently the third largest export industry in India-the first two being gem and jewellery and readymade garments and employs the largest human power in the country especially women. The importance of tourism as a strategy to empower women economically should therefore be questioned in term of their security and safety. This paper is an attempt to present the role of women in nurturing the tourism and at the same time try to bring in flash the security and safety issues of women.

The girl children become targets of attack even before they are born. This is evident from the declining sex ratio, especially in the northern states, according to census 2011 report. Sons are preferred over daughter for various social, economic and religious reasons such as family linkage, type of insurance for the future, prestige and power, financial support, salvation, dowry, low status of women, gender discrimination, family name as traditional causes and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Technology which is considered as bales of advancement in science and technology. In our society we all talk about equality in all walk of life, then, Why male are given the right to take birth and not women? It is well known fact that the latest advances in modern medical sciences-the tests like Amniocentesis and Ultra-sonography, which were originally designed for detection of congenital abnormalities of the fetus, are being misused for knowing the sex of the fetus with the intention of aborting it if it happens to be that of a female. Women are also facing various social problems like prostitution, trafficking, early marriage, dowry, illiteracy, and malnutrition and gender discrimination. There is a need to strength the ethical code of conduct and above all imbibe values among new generation. The aim of this article is not only to give stress over women's issues, but to highlight the problem of sex selection and its legal implication

A cohort of 215 Minnesota licensed center-and family/home-based providers completed a survey describing 15 nutrition and 8 PA best practices that they "already do" in 2010 and again in 2016 were analyzed in 2016. There was a significant net implementation rate increase for 15 best practices (10 nutrition, 5 PA) in centers and 12 best practices (8 nutrition, 4 PA) in family/home-based programs. The 2010 nutrition and PA scores were negatively associated with mean change in 2016 indicating the decreased potential for improvement among sites with more best practices already implemented in 2010. Adjusted for 2010 nutrition score and other factors, centers implemented, on average, 1.45 more nutrition best practices from 2010 to 2016 than family/ home based programs, and CACFP participating programs implemented, on average, 1.7 more nutrition best practices from 2010 to 2016 than non-CACFP participants. Urbanicity, provider education, and provider years of experience were not significantly associated with 2010-2016 change in nutrition score. The mean PA score change had a small but significant increase for each additional year of provider ECE experience after adjusting for the 2010 score. State-level surveillance of implemented best practices in ECE settings is useful. Findings identify opportunities for stakeholders to respond with targeted technical support and training and to consider potential future policy levers. 'Achieving a State of Healthy Weight', a report of state regulations across a variety of healthy weight practices in ECE settings, provides an annual snapshot of obesity prevention language in child care

It also grant equality before the law , prohibits discrimination against any citizen on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth and guarantee equality of opportunity to all citizens. Special acts and provisions are also made to empower women. The Constitution of India also empowers the State (Article 15 (3)) to adopt measures of positive discrimination in favour of women for neutralizing the cumulative socio economic, education and political disadvantages faced by them. Though women have been given more rights as compared to men, even then the condition of women is miserable as women often denied of their rights because of gender stereotyping violence against women, social and cultural attitudes, and discriminating laws and practices. In today’s world of technological development, women are contributing in national development including ...
