        abstract = {Sustainable development aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Women play a central role in achieving sustainable development due to their contributions in economic, social, and environmental spheres. This paper examines the role of women as key drivers of sustainable development, highlighting their involvement in education, healthcare, environmental conservation, and economic growth. Despite facing challenges such as gender inequality, lack of access to resources, and socio-cultural barriers, women continue to contribute significantly to sustainability goals. The study emphasizes the importance of empowering women through education, policy support, and equal opportunities to achieve global sustainability.},
