Abstract

Given its centrality to the G20 India seeks to offer a unique vantage point for weighing the efficacy of its laws in fostering gender equality associated with Agenda 2030. As a prominent member of the G20, India's part in shaping global economic policies and its commitment to addressing multifaceted challenges stands at the forefront. The research paper examines the effectiveness and sufficiency of Indian legal frameworks in achieving gender equality in alignment with the goals set forth in Agenda 2030. The United Nations' Agenda 2030 emphasizes the empowerment of women and girls, aiming to eliminate gender disparities across various sectors by the end of the decade. Considering the legal landscape of India, this study conducts a comprehensive analysis of existing laws, policies, and their implementation in relation to gender equality. The research incorporates a multi-faceted approach, utilizing qualitative analysis and comparative studies to evaluate the strengths, short comings, and loopholes within Indian legislation pertaining to gender equality. The research paper proposes prospective reforms and policy recommendations to strengthen the legal framework and address the tenacious barriers preventing the full realization of gender equality. Ultimately, this research contributes to the discourse on gender equality by illuminating insights into the adequacy of Indian laws and policies in order to achieve the goals outlined in Agenda 2030.
