Women have a vital role in environmental management and development. Their full
participation is therefore essential to achieve sustainable development” (Principle 20, Rio
Declaration). There is a dual rationale for promoting gender equality. Firstly, that equality between
women and men - equal rights, opportunities and responsibilities – is a matter of human rights and
social justice. And secondly, that greater equality between women and men is also a precondition
for (and effective indicator of) sustainable people-centred development. The perceptions, interests,
needs and priorities of both women and men must be taken into consideration not only as a matter
of social justice but because they are necessary to enrich development processes” (OSAGI 2001).
Key words: Women empowerment, sustainable development. environment,
economic.
